The Rapid Naming Test: Neuroanatomical validity and clinical utility.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Rapid Naming Test (RNT) is a tablet-administered confrontation naming task. We evaluated its concurrent validity, neuroanatomical correlates, sensitivity to cognitive impairment, and discriminant validity across neurodegenerative syndromes.

Methods

We compared RNT performance of 263 healthy adults (mean [SD] age = 73.6 [9.3]; 60.5% female) and 185 people with neurodegenerative syndromes (mean [SD] age = 68.3 [9.0]; 38.9% female), including primary progressive aphasias (PPA). RNT performance were correlated with traditional cognitive test performance and with regional gray matter volumes using voxel-based morphometry.

Results

RNT performance was associated with language, memory, executive function, and processing speed (p < 0.05), as well as wit
