Values represent mean (SD). All groups were matched for age and years of education. PPA patients were sorted into two groups, PPA-S and PPA-GL. Both PPA groups showed lower performance on all language measures compared with controls. PPA-S patients showed lower performance than PPA-GL patients on measures of naming and semantic judgment.
