Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation Improves Verbal Fluency in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) struggle with impaired verbal fluency as an executive function. The left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and the right inferior frontal gurus (IFG), which show reduced ...

Semantic Fluency and Phonemic Fluency: Regression-based Norms for the Portuguese Population [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2013
The main goal of this study was to produce adjusted normative data for the Portuguese population on two verbal fluency measures: the semantic fluency test (animals category) and the phonemic fluency test (letters M, R, and P). The study included 950 community-dwelling individuals (624 women and 326 men) aged between 18 and 98 (mean = 57.8, SD = 19.0 ...

Lexical organization in deaf children who use British Sign Language: Evidence from a semantic fluency task [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We adapted the semantic fluency task into British Sign Language (BSL). In Study 1, we present data from twenty-two deaf signers aged four to fifteen. We show that the same ‘cognitive signatures’ that characterize this task in spoken languages are also ...

Mechanisms of age-related decline in memory search across the adult life span [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Three alternative mechanisms for age-related decline in memory search have been proposed, which result from either reduced processing speed (global slowing hypothesis), overpersistence on categories (cluster-switching hypothesis), or the inability to ...

Effect of aging, education, reading and writing, semantic processing and depression symptoms on verbal fluency

open access: yesPsicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, 2013
Verbal fluency tasks are widely used in (clinical) neuropsychology to evaluate components of executive functioning and lexical-semantic processing (linguistic and semantic memory).

An Investigation of Phonological and Semantic Control Using TMS and fMRI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis aimed to investigate the neural basis of linguistic and semantic control across brain networks, using fMRI and TMS. Firstly we assessed the contribution of premotor cortex (PMC) to speech perception: TMS disrupted phonological but not ...

Cognitive Modeling of Semantic Fluency Using Transformers

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Can deep language models be explanatory models of human cognition? If so, what are their limits? In order to explore this question, we propose an approach called hyperparameter hypothesization that uses predictive hyperparameter tuning in order to find individuating descriptors of cognitive-behavioral profiles.

Age Effects on Semantic Coherence: Latent Semantic Analysis Applied to Letter Fluency Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
in Undetermined We investigated age-related changes in the semantic distance between successively generated words in two letter fluency tasks differing with respect to demands placed on executive control.
