Inter-Relationship between Conceptual Ambiguity and Naming Performance in Persons with Aphasia
Journal Title: Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder with a wide variety of symptoms. Anomia or word finding difficulty is a common symptom of aphasia regardless of the type of Aphasia. Conventionally a wide variety of confrontation naming tests are used to assess the naming domain in Aphasia. However the confrontation naming test is deemed to be simple limiting its utility. The current study uses fusion pictures which are conceptually loaded. The developed test was administered on 8 persons with aphasia and 0 neuro-typical adults. Both between and within group analysis revealed a significant difference. Persons with aphasia exhibited more difficulty on fusion compared to non-fusion pictures unveiling the role of conceptual ambiguity in naming.
