Written Word Finding

Sometimes a person who is unable to look at an object and subsequently name it can look at the written word associated with that object, read it aloud correctly, and then verbally answer the question, "What is this?" with the name of the object.

So, you show a photograph of a cup. The person says, "glass." You show a list of written words, one of which is "c-u-p." The person is able to locate the correct word, and read it aloud. Then you show the photograph again, and ask, "What is this?" and the person correctly verbalizes "cup."
