Picture naming, matching to sample, and head injury: A stimulus control analysis.

Computer-based procedures were used to examine oral naming and
matching-to-sample performances in an adult with a head injury.
Relatively few errors occurred when pictures were (a) named, (b)
matched to dictated names presented simultaneously, (c) matched
to dictation after a delay, and (d) matched to identical pictures
presented simultaneously. More errors occurred on delayed than on
simultaneous identity matching. On delayed matching trials, fewer
errors occurred when instructions to name the samples were given.
