13. NAMING
FUNCTIONAL, SEMANTIC AND
CONCEPTUAL ASSOCIATIONS
An object appears on the screen which the
subject names. The interviewer indicates on the
right margin whether the object has been
correctly identified by touching ID. If not
correctly identified the interviewer waits for the
next panel to appear. One practice trial is
given.
From the following screen of 6 objects the
subject selects the one which belongs with the
object named. 10 trials are given of which 5
are functional associations and 5 semantic
category associations.The interviewer notes
whether the response is correct=ID; a more
general term is used=G; a word is given which
identifies only part of the object=P; other
errors=0. The interviewer may indicate a series
of incorrect responses before the correct
response. The subject must respond within 20
seconds.
The following appears in the Results file :
- Total correct responses ID
- Total generalizations G
- Total partial responses P
- Frequency of running over time limit
with object recognition
- Frequency of running over time limit
with associations
For each trial :
- Correct or incorrect
- Sequence when several responses
given
- Generalization absent/present
- Partial absent/present
- Other absent/present
- Number of the associated object
chosen (objects numbered for this
purpose)
- Response time
