In this paper we have described the construction of a graded naming test that makes the distinction between object and proper names. This distinction was prompted by a single case study of a patient who showed a specific naming impairment for a particular class of proper names. Naming vocabulary was found to be highly correlated with other measures of verbal intelligence and we have discussed the use of the graded naming test as a tool for clinical assessment and diagnosis. The results of the naming test of the left hemisphere group showed that category-specific naming impairment along the object/proper name distinction is relatively uncommon in any gross form. Object naming was most impaired in patients with lesions of the temporal lobe.
在本文中，我们描述了一种分级命名测试的构建，该测试区分了物体名称和专有名称。这种区分是由对一名患者的单病例研究引发的，该患者对某一特定类别的专有名称表现出特定的命名障碍。研究发现命名词汇与其他言语智力测量指标高度相关，并且我们讨论了将分级命名测试用作临床评估和诊断工具的用途。左半球组的命名测试结果表明，沿物体/专有名称区分的类别特异性命名障碍以任何明显形式出现都相对不常见。颞叶病变患者的物体命名受损最为严重。
