PMID 29124960WHAT IT FOUND
No clinical finding is reported.
This article describes TalkBank resources, not a study of whether they improve assessment or treatment.
What this paper is
This article describes the TalkBank databases for aphasia, phonology, fluency and related conditions. It reports what the resources contain, who has used them and what future work is planned. It does not test an intervention or an assessment. There is no clinical finding to change practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the database counts as evidence that TalkBank improves patient care. The article describes resources and future plans, not a trial of those resources.
