“…In other studies, however, a preservation of object naming compared to action naming has been reported (Druks et al, 2006;Kim & Thomson, 2004;Masterson et al, 2007;Robinson, Grossman, White, & D'Esposito, 1996;White-Devine, Grossman, Robinson, Onishi, & Biassou, 1996). In some of these studies, the differences between the preservation of object and action naming are explained as the effect of the degradation of stored semantic knowledge that is commonly observed in AD patients (Hodges, Salmon, & Butters, 1992).…”

“…However, other critical characteristics have not been controlled. To date, the most strictly controlled studies of action and object naming are those reported by Druks et al (2006) and Masterson et al (2007), in which items from the different grammatical classes were pairwise matched on age of acquisition (AoA). Also, in those studies, item selection was such that there were no significant differences in familiarity ratings between items of different grammatical class and overall only pictures with high name agreement were used.…”

We investigated picture naming in Spanish-speaking patients with probable Alzheimer's disease using coloured line drawings of actions and objects matched on several key psycholinguistic variables. The patients were less accurate than healthy controls but we found no significant evidence for an effect of grammatical class. Generalized linear mixed-effects analyses indicated that patient naming accuracy was affected by lexical frequency and age of acquisition, and by the name agreement of the pictures. These observations support the view that, while the effect of grammatical class is not an important influence, accurate picture naming in dementia is determined by the impact of lesions on a lexico-semantic mapping structured by experience.

“…Others, such as Rogers and Friedman [12], evoke the possibility of incomplete access to the semantic system. Finally, some researchers have a more moderate view suggesting that deficiency in lexical access and semantic deficiency contribute together to the difficulties experienced in picture naming in the case of subjects affected by AD [13,14,15]. Experimentally and clinically, anomia is normally measured through performance in picture naming tasks [16,17,18,19], which is one of the first aspects to cause difficulties for patients when their language abilities are evaluated [20].…”

The aim of this study was to generalize the positive impact of auditory-visual bimodality on lexical retrieval in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In practice, the naming skills of healthy elderly persons improve when additional sensory signals are included. The hypothesis of this study was that the same influence would be observable in AD patients. Sixty elderly patients separated into three groups (healthy subjects, stage 1 AD patients, and stage 2 AD patients) were tested with a battery of naming tasks comprising three different modalities: a visual modality, an auditory modality, and a visual and auditory modality (bimodality). Our results reveal the positive influence of bimodality on the accuracy with which bimodal items are named (when compared with unimodal items) and their latency (when compared with unimodal auditory items). These results suggest that multisensory enrichment can improve lexical retrieval in AD patients.

Cappa et al (1998), for example, compared the object and action naming performance of nineteen Italian AD participants.…”
