Second, SMCQ score, which evaluates showed a significant positive correlation with global index, insertions. Third, substitutions significantly correlated elderly. Finally, most predictor variable index delayed recall score SVLT.Conclusion: results suggested that wordfinding by spontaneous speech-based naming test closely related adults.
