Semantic Strength in Dyslexia: neurocognitive correlates of semantic fluency

, 2023
Most studies of dyslexia focus on domains of impairment: reading and phonology among others. Few studies on dyslexia examine possible strengths. In the present study, we investigated a cognitive strength in English-speaking children with dyslexia aged 8-13, namely semantic fluency.

Functional and Effective Connectivity Underlying Semantic Verbal Fluency

Brain Topography, 2023
Abstract Semantic verbal fluency (SVF) impairment is present in several neurological disorders. Although activation in SVF-related areas has been reported, how these regions are connected and their functional roles in the network remain divergent.

Predicting and Explaining Human Semantic Search in a Cognitive Model

, 2017
Recent work has attempted to characterize the structure of semantic memory and the search algorithms which, together, best approximate human patterns of search revealed in a semantic fluency task.

Less-structured time in children's daily lives predicts self-directed executive functioning. [PDF]

, 2014
Executive functions (EFs) in childhood predict important life outcomes. Thus, there is great interest in attempts to improve EFs early in life. Many interventions are led by trained adults, including structured training activities in the lab, and less ...

Progressive compromise of nouns and action verbs in posterior cortical atrophy [PDF]

, 2018
Processing of nouns and action verbs can be differentially compromised following lesions to posterior and anterior/motor brain regions, respectively. However, little is known about how these deficits progress in the course of neurodegeneration.

Sex Difference in Cognitive Aging for Letter Fluency and Semantic Fluency [PDF]

Journal of Women's Health Care, 2014
This study examined the sex difference in cognitive aging for verbal abilities. To examine developmental changes on Letter Fluency (LFT) and Semantic Fluency (SFT) tests, healthy 224 women and 139 men over 40 years old participated in this study. The results showed that performance of both sex in the 40’s and 50’s remained at the same level, but the ...

Task irrelevant external cues can influence language selection in voluntary object naming: evidence from Hindi-English bilinguals [PDF]

, 2017
We examined if external cues such as other agents’ actions can influence the choice of language during voluntary and cued object naming in bilinguals in three experiments. Hindi– English bilinguals first saw a cartoon waving at a color patch. They were

Sex Differences in a Semantic Fluency Task

, 2015
Abstract. It is a well-documented empirical fact that men and women perform differently in language tasks involving various semantic categories. The sex-by-category effect has been reported in several languages and through different tasks. The results of these studies agree that some semantic categories are preferentially male while others are ...

Fluid Biomarkers of Disease Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying objective biomarkers for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is crucial to improving diagnosis and establishing clinical trial and treatment endpoints. This study evaluated fluid biomarkers in PSP versus controls and their associations with regional 18F‐PI‐2620 tau‐PET, clinical, and cognitive outcomes.
