This study tests the hypothesis that retrieval of object and action names declines at different
rates with age. Uncued and cued performance on the Boston Naming Test (BNT) and the …

Few studies have examined verb naming in normal aging, although decline in the ability to
name nouns has been well documented. In this study, we examined longitudinal …

Lexical retrieval for common nouns and verbs was measured using 2 picture naming tests in
162 healthy female and male subjects aged 30 to 79 years. Responses were scored for …

This study investigated the impaired lexical access and semantic degradation hypotheses
as two potential explanations of naming failures in normal aging. Naming responses on the …

Longitudinal performance on the Boston Naming Test (BNT) was evaluated in 53 normal
subjects aged 30 to 79 who were each tested three times over a 7-year span. Naming …

The longitudinal effects of age on confrontation naming using the 60-item Boston Naming
Test (BNT) were studied in 541 “normal” elderly (ages 50–99). For participants with at least 4 …

Older people seem to have difficulty learning new materials, perhaps because it takes them
longer to retrieve relevant encoding information from memory. To assess the effects of age …

ABSTRACT Background/Study Context: Lexical retrieval abilities and executive function
skills decline with age. The extent to which these processes might be interdependent …

The present study compared object and action naming in patients with Alzheimer's
dementia. We tested the hypothesis put forward in (some) previous studies that in …

Using longitudinal data on the Boston Naming Test (Kaplan, Goodglass, & Weintraub, 1983)
collected over 20 years from healthy individuals aged 30 to 94, we examined change in …
