The Boston Naming Test has enjoyed increasing use in many research studies since its introduction. However, there is little normative data on the age group above 60 years of age. This study presents data from a sample of 58 well-defined healthy elderly males and females between the ages of 60 and 85. In comparison with published normative data, our sample has higher means, smaller standard deviations, and narrower ranges. These results suggest that aging alone does not significantly alter recognition-cued word-finding ability as defined by the Boston Naming Test. Also there is remarkably consistent performance throughout our age range.
自引入以来，波士顿命名测试在许多研究中得到了越来越广泛的应用。然而，关于60岁以上年龄组的常模数据却很少。本研究呈现了58名年龄在60至85岁之间、定义明确的健康老年男性和女性样本的数据。与已发表的常模数据相比，我们的样本均值更高、标准差更小、范围更窄。这些结果表明，仅衰老并不会显著改变波士顿命名测试所定义的基于识别提示的找词能力。而且在我们整个年龄范围内，表现都非常一致。
