Abstract
Deficient confrontation naming has been observed in a number of neurological illnesses, as well as in aphasia and normal aging. The Visual Naming Test (VNT) of the Multilingual Aphasia Examination (MAE) is a standardized measure of confrontation naming. One hundred patients, consecutively referred for neuropsychological evaluation, were administered the VNT, Boston Naming Test (BNT), and WAIS-R. Concurrent validity of the two confrontation naming measures was demonstrated by their high intertest agreement. Performance on the VNT was found to be related to a unique ability separate from general intellectual functioning. Suggestions regarding the clinical use of the VNT are discussed.
