Foraging Connections: Optimal Foraging in Letter Fluency
The letter fluency task is the timed listing of words that begin with a specific letter (e.g., words starting with T). Participants often list words in phonologically related clusters (e.g., tank, task, tap) and occasionally switch clusters (e.g., tap, thud). This process has been likened to patch switching in animal foraging.
