The Boston Naming Test is designed to identify word retrieval problems; however, normative data for this test are limited. One hundred subjects participated in this study to examine race, gender, and educational level effects on test scores. Subjects included 25 African American males, 25 African American females, 25 Caucasian males, and 25 Caucasian females with no neurologic impairment from a wide age range. Race and gender did not have a significant effect on test scores; however, educational level had an effect on the number of correct responses. Subjects with more years of education were determined to have exposure to a wider vocabulary base which was credited with the higher test scores.
