The Naming Ability of Traumatic Brain Injured Patients with Language Disturbance

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare quantitatively or qualitatively naming ability between patients with language disturbance caused by traumatic brain injury and normal controls. The Korean version Boston Naming Test(K-BNT) was administered to 27 patients and 27 normal controls and then the performance of K-BNT between the two groups was compared, and cut-off scores, efficiencies, sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive powers and negative predictive powers of two separate scoring systems(total score and percentile) were calculated. Also, the error types in K-BNT responses of two groups were analyzed. The total score and percentile of K-BNT were lower in patients than normal controls. Cut-off scores of K-BNT total score and percentile were 36 and 4%ile, these two scores significantly discriminated patients from normal controls. Omission error and semantic error were more frequent in both groups. Finally, the suggestions, limitations and further issues for future study were discussed.
