Age of acquisition and name agreement as predictors of mean response latencies in picture naming of French adults.

We studied the influence of five variables on picture naming latencies in French adult subjects: frequency, age of acquisition and length of words, name agreement in oral naming, and visual complexity of pictures. 140 pictures were presented to 56 subjects with control of individual factors (age, educational level, gender). Naming latency was measured as the time from picture onset until keystroke corresponding to the begin of verbal production. The results of simple and multiple regression analyses show that only two variables make independent contributions to mean response latency: age of acquisition and name agreement. Such state of affairs confirms similar findings obtained with English speaking subjects.

[Verbal abilities of normal adults submitting to an aphasia linguistic protocol].

A language test protocol for aphasia in French-speaking patients was drawn up recently by workers in Toulouse and Montreal. The protocol has been applied to sixty hospitalized sciatica patients of the same age range and socio-cultural level as the average population of aphasics in our department. Only one of the normal patients passed the test without any mistakes. The number and nature of the mistakes are studied statistically in relation to age, sex and socio-cultural level.
