An observational examination of circumlocution ability in acute left-hemisphere stroke survivors as a possible estimative behavioral measure of very mild aphasia

Approximately 16-30% of people who sustain language-dominant hemisphere strokes experience aphasia (Flowers et al., 2013; Stipancic et al., 2019). Aphasia can detrimentally impact one’s reading, writing, speaking, and/or listening abilities, as well as mental health, experiences with disability discrimination, and financial outcomes (Dehktyar et al., 2025; Jacobs & Ellis, 2025; National Aphasia Association, n.d.; Nunn et al., 2024). Accurately identifying aphasia in acute and subacute stages of recovery is integral for timely participation in rehabilitation and appropriate referrals for follow-up care (Lavoie et al., 2025).
