| Context |
Anomic errors were frequently associated with objects that bore a relation to the patient’s illness and frequently occurred during a period of disorientation, confabulation, and denial of illness. The authors observed that, in contrast to patients with classical anomic aphasia, patients exhibiting nonaphasic misnaming frequently showed no evidence of grouping for words in their spontaneous speech nor did their naming necessarily improve when correction was offered.
