GODOY ORTEGA, Pablo; RIFFO OCARES, Bernardo  and  SAEZ CARRILLO, Katia. Effects of Age of Acquisition of Words on Images Naming Task in the Spanish-Speaking Aphasic Subjects. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.4, pp.100-113. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy16-4.eeap.

The age of acquisition of words (AoA) effects in spanish-speaking aphasic subjects and its influence on the properties of lexical activation, inhibition and competition were analyzed in a naming task. Twenty two aphasic subjects completed a naming task with 20 images with early acquisition words (EA) and 20 images with late acquisition words (LA). Variables precision and response time (RT) were analyzed and the results showed a higher number of correct responses and a lower RT with EA images than those with LA images and it can be established that in aphasic subjects, lexical activation of right words to images is greater with EA images than with LA images.

Keywords : aphasia; age of acquisition; lexical activation; inhibition and competition.
