Functional Connectivity and Compensation of Phonemic Fluency in Aging [PDF]
Neural compensatory mechanisms associated with broad cognitive abilities have been studied. However, those associated with specific cognitive subdomains (e.g., verbal fluency) remain to be investigated in healthy aging.

Executive Processes Underpin the Bilingual Advantage on Phonemic Fluency: Evidence From Analyses of Switching and Clustering [PDF]
Bilinguals often show a disadvantage in lexical access on verbal fluency tasks wherein the criteria require the production of words from semantic categories.

Multi-model mapping of phonemic fluency. [PDF]
AbstractThe voluntary generation of non-overlearned responses is usually assessed with phonemic fluency. Like most frontal tasks, it draws upon different complex processes and systems whose precise nature is still incompletely understood. Many claimed aspects regarding the pattern of phonemic fluency performance and its underlying anatomy remain ...

Improvement of phonemic fluency following leftward prism adaptation. [PDF]
Abstract Anatomo functional studies of prism adaptation (PA) have been shown to modulate a brain frontal-parieto-temporal network, increasing activation of this network in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the side of prism deviation.

Characterizing phonemic fluency by transfer learning with deep language models. [PDF]
Abstract Though phonemic fluency tasks are traditionally indexed by the number of correct responses, the underlying disorder may shape the specific choice of words—both correct and erroneous. We report the first comprehensive qualitative analysis of incorrect and correct words generated on the phonemic (‘S’) fluency test, in a large ...

Impairments of verbal fluency are recognised in adult-onset schizophrenia but their presence in early-onset schizophrenia is not well established. This study investigated the extent and character of verbal fluency disturbance in young patients close to illness onset.

Structural Correlates of Semantic and Phonemic Fluency Ability in First and Second Languages [PDF]
Category and letter fluency tasks are commonly used clinically to investigate the semantic and phonological processes central to speech production, but the neural correlates of these processes are difficult to establish with functional neuroimaging because of the relatively unconstrained nature of the tasks. This study investigated whether differential

Can Phonemic Verbal Fluency Be Used to Predict Alzheimer’s Disease?
Background: Among the cognitive markers, the deterioration of semantic and phonemic verbal fluency seems to be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Association Between Greater Cerebellar Network Connectivity and Improved Phonemic Fluency Performance After Exercise Training in Older Adults [PDF]
Little is known about the effects of exercise training (ET) on lexical characteristics during fluency task and its association with cerebellum functional connectivity. The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate whether ET alters response patterns
