This study concerns the evaluation of images to be used in a test with aphasic patients, in which these are asked to verbalize objects submitted to them through specific images. The results of the aphasic obtained by this test provides a mean to evaluate their word retrieval and the extent of the compromising of their phonological knowledge, due to brain damage. The images, taken from Snodgrass and Vandewarts (1980), must be easily and unequivocally identified and a broad consensus must exist on the set of images used for the mentioned purpose. Correspondence Analysis was applied to evaluate the images’ judgments by 38 subjects, in order to understand to what extent they identify the image with the same name defined by the researcher.

Abstract
This study concerns the evaluation of images to be used in a test with aphasic patients, in which these are asked to verbalize objects submitted to them through specific images. The results of the aphasic obtained by this test provides a mean to evaluate their word retrieval and the extent of the compromising of their phonological knowledge, due to brain damage. The images, taken from Snodgrass and Vandewarts (1980), must be easily and unequivocally identified and a broad consensus must exist on the set of images used for the mentioned purpose. Correspondence Analysis was applied to evaluate the images’ judgments by 38 subjects, in order to understand to what extent they identify the image with the same name defined by the researcher.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
