Abstract
Introduction. Boston Naming Test (BNT) was one among the most frequent assessment measures for neuropsychology. The current article describes the adaptation and validation study of the Indonesian-Boston Naming Test (I-BNT). Initial normative data on the I-BNT has been published (Sulastri et al., 2019), representing participants living in one city in Central Java (N=200). Recently, we have extended data collection in Java Island (Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya), and outside Java Island (Denpasar, Samarinda, and Makassar) from 2018-2019. In this article I will also further discuss some interesting findings with regard to the development of normative scores using data represented Java and Non-Java population (N=800). Literature review. BNT is firstly developed by Goodglass, Kaplan, and Weintraub (1983). Since then it is widely used by psychologists and neuropsychologists to assess complaints pertaining language ability. BNT can be used either as assessment to evaluate aphasia disorder or to evaluate improvement of a therapy on language disorder. Results and Conclusions. Based on our data there are some unique responses that are presumably highly correlated with the first and second language frequently spoken by the respondents. Therefore, it is imperative to collaborate with linguists and local psychologists to determine the correct responses that represent the local cognitive properties. It is because naming ability is heavily influenced by cultural and linguistic factors. It is also suggested that a researcher should provide alternative target words as correct responses to avoid mis-diagnose of aphasia disorder. In Indonesia context, adaption and validation studies should also collaborate with local people to determine which responses considered as correct as they are part of local knowledge (communal cognitive properties).
