چکیده

Abbreviated neuropsychological protocols are increasingly utilized secondary to time-constraints within research and healthcare settings, yet normative data for these abbreviated instruments are lacking. We present geriatric performances and normative data for the Boston Naming Test 30-item even version (BNT-30). Data were utilized from the BU-ADCC registry (n = 441, ages 55-98) and included 219 normal controls (NC), 155 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 67 participants with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The NC group (M = 28.7, SD = 1.8) significantly outperformed both MCI (M = 26.2, SD = 4.4) and AD (M = 22.1, SD = 4.8) groups, and the MCI group outperformed the AD group. Normative data generated for the NC participants revealed a significant between-group difference for sex (males M = 29.1, SD = 1.7; females M = 28.4, SD = 1.8) and race (White M = 28.8, SD = 1.7; African American M = 27.5, SD = 2.1). The racial disparity remained even after adjusting for education level (p = .002) and literacy (p < .001). ANOVAs for the NC group were non-significant for age but significant for education level (p = .001). Geriatric normative data therefore suggest that sex, race, and education are all associated with naming performance, and these variables should be taken into consideration when interpreting geriatric BNT-30 performance.

The Effects of Phonemic Cueing on Confrontation Naming in Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: Evidence from the Polish Version of the Boston Naming Test

Confrontation naming of objects, as measured by the Boston Naming Test (BNT), is impaired in both fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the profile of naming disturbances seems to be different in these two neurodegenerative conditions, which could provide clues for differential diagnosis. This study aimed to characterize the naming performance in FTD and AD as we...
