The Boston Naming Test is a neuropsychological measure of confrontation naming, short forms of which can be advantageous with various populations. The purpose of this study was to establish a Spanish-English equivalent version of the BNT using item response theory. Data were analyzed from 380 Project FRONTIER participants; 27 items differed between groups and were removed from the measure. Additionally, 18 items did not differ between groups but were poor items. The current 15-item Spanish-English equivalent version of the BNT offers significant advantages. Future work is required to validate the diagnostic utility of the instrument in various settings and populations.
波士顿命名测试是一种神经心理学的命名测试,其简短形式对于各种人群都具有优势。本研究旨在使用项目反应理论建立一个西班牙-英语等效版本的 BNT。数据来自 380 项 FRONTIER 项目参与者;27 项因组间差异而被剔除。此外,18 项因组间无差异但表现不佳而被剔除。目前的 15 项西班牙-英语等效版本的 BNT 具有显著优势。未来的工作需要在不同的环境和人群中验证该工具的诊断效用。
