Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was first discovered in Wuhan, China in 2019, and has spread worldwide since its discovery, leading to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is frequently known that COVID-19 causes side effects such as fever, cough, difficulty in breathing, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as delirium and changes in consciousness by affecting the central nervous system. However, studies on naming and its effect on word-retrieval are very limited. Naming is a language skill that includes the ability of an individual to name an object or an image of an object, that is, the process of recalling words and producing words. The aim of the present study is to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and naming difficulties. Material and Methods: In the first stage, a questionnaire was sent to the volunteer participants to obtain demographic information. Among the participants whose demographic information was obtained, naming skills assessment tests were applied to people aged 18-40 who had COVID-19 and those who have not had COVID-19. The Boston Naming Test was used to assess naming, the Pyramid Palm Trees Test to assess access to semantic information, the Word Fluency (K-A-S) Test and categorical fluency tests to assess verbal fluency; and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test to assess cognitive skills. Results: The test results were analyzed and the relationship between COVID-19 and naming and word-retrieval difficulties was examined. Conclusion: The relationship between naming skills and having had COVID-19 was found to be significant.
