Short Description
The Northwestern Anagram Test (NAT) was designed to examine non-verbal production of canonical and non-canonical sentences in individuals with language disorders resulting from neurological disease. For a sample of the test stimuli and response form, please see the sample file below.
Purchase Options
Due to concerns surrounding COVID-19 and Northwestern University’s response, shipments of printed versions of NAT will be delayed. Shipments will resume once Northwestern returns to standard operating procedures.

What is NAT?
The NAT consists of two forms: (I) a Long Version, and (II) a Short Version. Both examine non-verbal production of canonical and noncanonical sentences. The Long Version examines production of the same sentence types examined with the Northwestern Assessment of Verbs and Sentences (NAVS) (Thompson, 2011; http://www.flintbox.com/public/project/9299/), including active sentences, passive sentences, subject extracted wh-questions, object extracted wh-questions, subject relatives, and object relatives. The Short Version examines production of a subset of these structures: subject extracted wh-questions and object extracted wh-questions.
