Performance of normal males on the Boston naming test and the word test

Abstract Responses on the Boston Naming Test (BNT) and The Word Test (TWT) were compared for 125 normal male subjects between 20 and 69 years. BNT and TWT scores were significantly correlated. Age was significantly correlated with BNT scores, but educational level was not significantly correlated with BNT or TWT scores. Examples of incorrect responses on both tests are provided, and clinical implications are discussed.
