Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients frequently experience language impairments, particularly in naming and verbal fluency. These deficits may stem from perceptual or semantic processing issues, impacting communication.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psycholinguistics

Context:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is often associated with cognitive deficits, including memory, attention, and executive functions.
  • While language function was traditionally considered preserved, emerging research indicates potential impairments in MS patients, especially in naming and word generation tasks.

Purpose:

  • To investigate language functioning in multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • To specifically examine naming ability and verbal fluency in individuals with MS.

Summary:

  • MS patients (n=30) and healthy controls (n=30) were assessed using the Boston Naming Test and verbal fluency tasks.
  • MS patients demonstrated significantly lower performance on both naming and verbal fluency measures compared to controls.
  • MS patients exhibited a high rate of semantic and visuoperceptual errors on the Boston Naming Test, with naming deficits correlating with reduced verbal fluency.

Impact:

  • This study highlights that language function, particularly naming, is frequently impaired in MS.
  • The findings suggest that naming difficulties in MS may arise from disruptions in perceptual and/or semantic processing systems.
  • Understanding these language deficits is crucial for comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and intervention in MS.
