Naming is not important for functional communication.
TRUE or FALSE - answer FALSE: naming is important for functional communication
especially at the conversational level
How is naming assessed? - answer in confrontation naming tasks such as picture
naming, object naming.
Lexical retrieval/naming is a complex system. TRUE or FALSE - answer TRUE
With Lexical retrieval/ naming. ____________ triggers __________ ? - answer input ,
output
This means the type out input you provide will trigger specific modalities for the patient
to be able to respond.
What are the two stages of lexical naming ? - answerSemantic stage (input
mechanisms) • Phonologic stage (lexical output)
confrontation naming with pictures what is the input mechanism ? - answervisual object
recognition system
Confrontation naming with written words , what is the input mechanism ? -
answerwritten linguistic recognition system
After input is received , the semantic representation system then triggers modality
specific output lexicon:
(FLIP for examples) - answer• If verbally naming a picture, lexical phonologic output
system
• If asked to write name of object, lexical orthographic output system
In the complex naming system , what systems come after semantic and phonologic
lexical systems ? - answerphonologic/articulatory systems for verbal response
,1. input
2. semantic representations system
3.lexical phonological output system
4. phonologic/articulatory systems for verbal response
___________ is a diffuse left hemisphere function - answerAnomia
Studies have highlighted which regions of the brain to be involved in naming ( lexical
processing:) - answer• L-temporal
• L-inferior parietal
• L-posterior frontal
• L-thalamus
We see Anomia following ___________ & __________ lesions ? - answerAnomia
following perisylvian and extrasylvian lesions
Antonucci's take on Anomia ?
- which part of the brain involved in naming ?
-Anomia was worse for _______ than ______ as worse for naming ______ than naming
_____ - answerLeft inferior temporal lobe
worse for NOUNS than VERBS
worse for LIVING THINGS than NON- LIVING THINGS
Antonucci and colleagues found that the
- left inferior temporal lobe was involved in semantic aspects of naming. An injury to this
area resulted in anomia. And this anomia tended to be worse for nouns than verbs and
worse for naming living things than naming non-living things.
(Goodglass & Wingfield, 1997) take on Anomia - answerLexical phonologic output relies
on intact
• Left superior temporal gyrus
• Inferior parietal cortex
(Damasio et al., 1993; Hillis et al., 2002; Tranel et al., 1997)
Take on Anomia ? - answer• Left frontal operculum lesions were associated with greater
verb deficits than noun deficits
In cases of non fluent Aphasia there is likely a disruption between ________________&
____________ /_____________ phases of naming. - answerlikely disruption between
semantic and lexical/phonological phases of naming
When assessing naming functions (Lexical retrieval) what are some things you want to
consider including ? - answer-various stimuli,
, -different levels of complexity, and not be limited to "naming" to get a complete picture
of linguistic deficit(s)
- use of standardized formal measures
Examples of standardized testing measures for naming
( lexical retrieval) - answer• Boston Naming Test
• Object and Action Naming Battery
•Expressive Vocabulary Test
• Activity Resource Kit (LARK)
Informal Naming assessments - answer• LARK to elicit language
• Language samples (reading aloud, writing, picture description, etc.)
• Conversation
• Object/picture/body part naming (verbalization of name or writing name)
• Responsive naming:
• Convergent naming:
• Divergent naming:
• Verbal fluency:
• Synonyms/antonyms
• Sentence completion, carrier phrases, providing semantic/phonemic cues
Responsive naming: - answerThe client will name something after being give a
description
Convergent naming: - answerThe client will be asked to provide a category name given
a list of things in that category.
Divergent naming: - answerYou give the category and they will list examples of things in
that category.
Verbal fluency: - answerin X amount of time the client will be asked to name as many
items in a category .
Why is cross modality naming assessment important ? - answerthis will help get a good
comprehensive picture of the naming functions.
Example of sentence completion. - answerThe grass is _____
Example of a carrier phrase - answerHere you will create a phrase structure and hope
that the client jumps in to add something using the appropriate phrase
I'm going to the grocery store . Im buying a banana, I'm buying a watermelon , Im
buying a chicken .
( you want them to say I'm buying _____ )
