Abstract
This study assessed whether right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD) adults’ performance on a nonstandard measure of higher-level inferencing could be predicted by their scores on the Discourse Comprehension Test (DCT, Brookshire & Nicholas, 1993). Neither overall DCT accuracy nor accuracy on DCT questions about implied information predicted performance on the higher-level inferencing task. A number of factors are proposed that might account for this outcome. The predictive power of standardized tests with strong psychometric properties is worth further investigation.
