The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (PPVT-R), Boston Naming Test (BNT), Paired Associate Learning of the Wechsler Memory Scale (PAL), and verbal fluency tests were administered to 241 normal children aged 6-12 years. Normative data were compiled for the BNT, PAL, and verbal fluency tests. A Principal Components Factor Analysis with Varimax Rotation was conducted to determine whether the tests evaluated similar or differential functions. Three factors emerged, accounting for 67.7% of the variance: Factor 1 contained loadings from two semantic fluency measures (animals and food), Factor 2 contained the PPVT-R and the BNT, and Factor 3 contained two measures from the PAL (easy and hard associations). In children, the BNT relates more to word knowledge than to retrieval or fluency, and verbal memory appears to be relatively independent of these linguistic functions.
对241名6至12岁的正常儿童进行了皮博迪图片词汇测验修订版（PPVT-R）、波士顿命名测验（BNT）、韦氏记忆量表的配对联想学习（PAL）以及言语流畅性测试。为BNT、PAL和言语流畅性测试编制了常模数据。进行了主成分因子分析并采用方差最大化旋转，以确定这些测试评估的是相似功能还是不同功能。出现了三个因子，解释了67.7%的方差：因子1包含两种语义流畅性测量（动物和食物）的载荷，因子2包含PPVT-R和BNT，因子3包含PAL的两种测量（简单和困难联想）。在儿童中，BNT与词汇知识的关系比与检索或流畅性的关系更大，并且言语记忆似乎相对独立于这些语言功能。
