Abstract

This paper describes a Hebrew naming test that consists of 48 line drawings ordered by word frequency. The initial validation phase included 48 young adults (ages 20–28), 48 old adults (ages 67–85), and 27 individuals with Alzheimer's disease (ages 68–87). Results indicated a modest odd–even internal consistency effect, word frequency effect, and sensitivity to neurological disease. The normative population included 365 participants, aged 18–85. Means of correct answers (responses provided spontaneously and those following a functional cue), of spontaneous responses alone, and of responses provided after a functional and after a phonemic cue are presented, along with cumulative percentiles for the total score. Results show that age had the greatest effect on naming performance with age at immigration accounting for a significant share of the variance as well.
