| definition |
Definition: “Anomia generally refers to instances of word finding difficulty that occur during the course of conversational discourse. It is often documented clinically in confrontation picture or tasks”. This means patients have trouble finding the right words to say. In the clinical summaries of the NBB, ‘word finding problems’ is frequently reported like this. We have decided to score it as a separate parameter. Word-finding difficulties are often a sign of the logopenic variant of a primary progressive aphasia which is “…characterized by preserved syntax and comprehension but frequent and severe word-finding pauses, anomia, circumlocutions, and simplifications during spontaneous speech. Repetition is usually impaired”. |

| Exclusion_criteria |
We scored as TRUE: anomia; word finding problems; minor difficulties with word finding; naming problems; unable to name objects. PLEASE NOTE: Patients with items scored under this parameter may fit a classification of ‘Logopenic aphasia’. However, given the subjective descriptions provided in the NBB reports, we are unable to accurately classify the different forms of aphasia. Furthermore, we cannot make a distinction between primary progressive aphasias and other forms of aphasia. Therefore, interpretation should be made with caution. |
