Arizona Semantic Test – Czech Version with Standards for Adults
Arizonský sémantický test – česká verze a orientační normy pro dospělou populaci
Sémantický systém sehrává klíčovou úlohu v mezilidské komunikaci. Jeho narušení se může projevit u osob s různými diagnózami (afázie, primární progresivní afázie, demence), přičemž doposud v tuzemsku chyběl testový nástroj určený výlučně k hodnocení sémantického systému. Proto je obsahem článku představení Arizonského sémantického testu, který byl převzat do českého prostředí. K testu byly stanoveny orientační percentilové normy pro dospělou populaci. Kromě toho byly identifikovány problematické položky, a to z hlediska chybovosti i reakčních časů. Dalším krokem je standardizace Arizonského sémantického testu do českého prostředí.

Overview
The semantic system plays a key role in interpersonal communication. Its disruption can be manifested in people with various diagnoses (aphasia, primary progressive aphasia, dementia). However, to date there has been no assessment tool designed exclusively for assessing the Czech semantic system. For this reason, the article presents the Arizona Semantic Test, which has been adopted in the Czech environment. Standards for the adult population have been established for the test. In addition, equivocal items have been identified in terms of error rates and reaction times. The next step is to standardise the Arizona Semantic Test in the Czech environment.
