Hi baileymedline72. I work in the field of neuroscience testing. If you are interested, I can give you the name of a test that you guys can do to test her verbal comprehension.

Hi, sorry for the late response. The test probes peoples understanding of language by using the N400 semantic incongruity paradigm. Here's how it works and why it is used: If you have a person that is not verbal and does not move or is incapable of communicating or cooperating for some reason , then you use this test. You place an EEG cap on the person and you record their reactions to stimuli. Stimuli consist of many sentences presented through headphones one word at a time. The last word of the sentence will either be a semantic fit, or misfit. For example
every
morning
I
drink
a
cup
of
shoes
A person who has normal language comprehension will produce an negative electrical waveform 400 milliseconds after the last word. this is known as the N400 mismatch waveform. The waveform is produce ONLY if the sentence is semantically in-congruent. If there the waveform is present it indicates 100% that the person has language comprehension. I don't know how much detail you want me to go into. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.

do you think there is a difference in roller skates between abec 5 and abec 7 bearings?
