Underpinnings of verbal fluency in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, 2021
The cognitive and language processes underlying verbal fluency remain unclear. While some cognitive processes related to memory and executive functioning have been more associated with category and letter verbal fluency, other less studied aspects of language ability could be also related.

Verbal Fluency and Agrammatism

1997
Since the beginning of this century it has been documented that cerebellar lesions induce speech deficits but these were thought to result from lack of motor coordination in the muscular activity needed for phonation. The pure motor nature of the cerebellum has been challenged on different grounds, and cerebellar activation has been documented in ...

Stability of Verbal Fluency in Outpatients with Schizophrenia

Psychiatry Research, 2021
While it is well established that individuals with schizophrenia exhibit a wide range of neurocognitive deficits, there is significant heterogeneity in this regard. Impairments in verbal fluency appear to present consistently across most individuals with the illness.

Verbal fluency in parkinson's disease

Neuropsychologia, 1990
This study compares the performance of Parkinson's disease patients with age-matched controls on semantic and letter-initial verbal fluency tests. An analysis of variance revealed that Parkinsonian patients showed impaired word production. However when the covariates of age, present verbal ability (Mill Hill Synonyms) and severity of depression ...

Children's Production on Verbal and Non-Verbal Fluency Tasks

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Children aged 6 to 13 yr. were given verbal and non-verbal fluency tasks as well as the Vocabulary and Block Design subtests of the WISC-R. The results, providing normative data, showed that the fluency tasks are age-, but not sex-dependent, and are only modestly correlated to one another and to standard measures of intelligence.

Pupil Dilation as an Index of Verbal Fluency

The American Journal of Psychology, 2020
Abstract Verbal fluency tasks are widely used as a neuropsychological test of language production. We assessed pupil dilation during a verbal fluency task and during a control task. On the verbal fluency task, we asked 45 healthy participants (mean age = 23.55 years) to generate as many words as possible beginning with the letter “P ...

Verbal fluency: Normative data

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1978
Administered a verbal fluency task and a WAIS to two groups of Ss (one that ranged from 20 to 59 years and the other from 60 to 94 years). In the younger group there were no significant differences in verbal fluency across three IQ or across four decade age ranges.

Verbal fluency deficits in multiple sclerosis

Neuropsychologia, 2006
A quantitative review of 35 studies with 3673 participants was conducted to estimate and compare the magnitude of deficits upon tests of phonemic and semantic fluency for participants with multiple sclerosis (MS) relative to healthy controls. Participants with MS were substantially but similarly impaired on tests of phonemic and semantic fluency. These

Cerebellum and Verbal Fluency (Phonological and Semantic)

2016
Verbal fluency indicates the rate at which one produces words. It is measured by tasks that assess phonological or semantic associative processes and strategic abilities in retrieving words from a lexicon under forced conditions. Impairments in verbal fluency tasks are common in adult patients who are affected by cerebellar pathology.

Verbal fluency deficits in female alcoholics

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1991
Verbal fluency deficits in female alcoholics (n = 48) were investigated using Thurstone's Word Fluency Test (TWFT) and a category fluency test. Overall, alcoholics performed less well than did controls (n = 36). Simple effects indicate that although controls performed less well on category fluency than on the TWFT, alcoholics did not differ between the
