Acquired aphasia in childhood and developmental dysphasias: Are the errors similar? Analysis of errors made in confrontation naming tasks

Abstract

Two forms of anomia, one due to a brain lesion and the other to a developmental language disorder, are compared in children of the same age. The nature and importance of naming errors for a specially devised test of naming by category, points to more similarities between the two kinds of anomia than between the errors made by children of the same chronological age and of the same naming age.
