Abstract
In comparing individuals with stroke, AD, and TBI, who shared mild to moderate naming impairment, subtle differences in naming errors were found. The stroke group had a higher frequency of partial responses and derivational errors, the AD group had a higher frequency of irrelevant description errors, and both the AD and TBI groups had a higher frequency of visula misperceptions. Across groups, milder naming impairment was associated with a higher proportion of semantic errors, and more severe naming impairment was associated with errors that were not semantic in nature. The results were most consistent with semantic boundary erosion.
