Objective:
The difficulty to retrieve verbs (verb anomia) is common in people with post-stroke aphasia. Verb anomia assessment often relies on picture oral naming task. However, oral naming of videos better captures the intrinsic dynamics of actions.
Methods:
This observational study reports the development of the Test québécois de dénomination d'actions par visionnement de vidéos (TQ-DAV) [Action Naming Test with Videos for Quebec French], designed to assess verb anomia in the French-speaking individuals of Quebec, Canada. The TQ-DAV consists of 20 action videos (10 high-frequency and 10 low-frequency actions), matched on several psycholinguistic variables.
Results:
TQ-DAV shows robust psychometric properties. It allows to differentiate the performance of healthy people and that of people with post-stroke aphasia (discriminant validity). The TQ-DAV demonstrates good internal consistency. The norms of the TQ-DAV allow to easily and automatically calculate the Z-score and the frequency effect of a person.
Conclusion:
In sum, the TQ-DAV enriches the tools for assessing verb anomia in Quebec French people.
