Introduction

One of the most common features seen in normal population’s and disordered population’s utterance is word finding difficulty. To assess these difficulties researchers developed many tasks and methods as remediation. Out of which confrontation naming gave spark to the management options for the individuals with naming difficulties.

Confrontation naming is a type of task used in assessment when problems with anomia or word retrieval are of concern. This task is carried out because the examiner knows the target word without any ambiguity. It is often studied using oral and written modalities of responses. Orthographic variables like regularity of language can also influence naming tasks. However, the confronted target pictures could elicit more than one response and hence reliability of the particular lexical entry the person is searching for is questioned.

Effect of aging on confrontation naming is also an interest of researchers. It is well known fact that there is a declination of various linguistic skills as the age progresses. Thus, the effects of aging on naming tasks have been poked out widely in recent studies.

Confrontation naming refers to a type of task which involves the selection of a specific label corresponding to a viewed picture of an object or an action. It is studied using oral and written modalities of responses. Orthographic variables like regularity of a language can also influence naming task. Dearth of literature in bilinguals across languages has not been addressed till date in Indian context. Thus, the need for this study arises.
