SEMANTIC
O PPOSITES
•••
In this section, the patient is required to respond with a word that means the opposite of
the stimulus word. The response is correct if its meaning is opposite to, but is not
morphologically related to the stimulus word. So, in this section, given the stimulus “TRUE”,
the response “UNTRUE” would be scored wrong (by circling “–“) because despite meaning
the opposite of the stimulus, it is not a DIFFERENT word.

READING
•••
In the following two sections the patient is required to read the stimulus aloud (stimulus
book p. 31). For each item circle “+” if the item is read aloud correctly, circle “–“ if it is
read incorrectly, and circle “0” if nothing is produced.
