Anomia is a "language dysfunction characterized by the inability to name people and objects that are correctly perceived."[1]

Anomia may be a part of normal aging.[2]

Although anomia is not a criterion for diagnosing dementia, anomia is associated with current[3] and future[4] mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

Anomia can be detected with the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT)[3][5] and the Boston naming text[6].
