The LAST has been extensively described and explored in the context of post-stroke aphasia (7). Briefly, it consists in a two-part test designed to assess language production and perception. It comprises 5 subtests evaluating picture naming (/5), word and sentence repetition (/2), counting from one to ten (/1), single-word comprehension (/5), and simple and complex order execution (/3). The maximal score of the LAST is 15/15. The LAST does not account for linguistic parameters such as item frequency.
