Sex differences in clustering and switching in verbal fluency tasks
Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 2006Sex differences in executive speech tasks, favoring women, have been noted in behavioral studies and functional imaging studies. In the present study, the clustering and switching components of semantic and phonemic verbal fluency tests were examined in 40 healthy men and 40 healthy women.

Clustering strategies on tasks of verbal fluency in Parkinson's disease
Neuropsychologia, 1992The verbal output of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) was analyzed for semantic and phonemic clusters on tasks of verbal fluency. One task required cued retrieval by semantic category (i.e. animals), and one required non-cued retrieval by initial letter (e.g. words beginning with 'F'). Nondemented PD patients (N = 25) produced significantly fewer

Differential Effects of Aging on Two Verbal Fluency Tasks
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1993The effect of age on verbal fluency was studied in 84 healthy volunteers, ages 45 to 91 years, who performed letter-fluency and semantic-fluency tasks. Older subjects (75 to 91 yr.) performed as well as younger (50 to 64 yr.) on letter fluency but did significantly worse on semantic category fluency.

Switching and clustering in verbal fluency tasks throughout childhood
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2008An analysis of switching and clustering in fluency tasks was conducted on data from 180 Hebrew speakers aged 8-29. On the phonemic task, total output, number of switches, and number of clusters differed significantly across age groups and increased with age, whereas mean cluster size did not. On the semantic task, all measures increased with age.

Chronic pain patients' perceptions of their future: a verbal fluency task
Pain, 2016Abstract Depression is a common feature of chronic pain, but the content of depressed cognitions in groups with chronic pain may be qualitatively different from other depressed groups. Future thinking has been extensively studied in depressed population; however, to our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate future thinking, using ...

Purpose Emotional verbal fluency (Emo-VF) has the potential to expand neuropsychological assessment by providing information about affective memory retrieval. The usability of Emo-VF is limited, however, by significant variations in task administration and the lack of information about Emo-VF responses.

The Effects of Alzheimer's Disease on Item Output in Verbal Fluency Tasks.
Neuropsychology, 2004We collected category fluency data from several moderate-to-large samples of participants at three different sites: the New York University Aging and Dementia Center, the Oregon Health Services Aging and Dementia Research Center, and the Einstein Aging Study at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. These data were analyzed by calculating the average

A comparison of verbal fluency tasks in schizophrenic patients and normal controls
Schizophrenia Research, 2001Previous studies have reported significant impairment on verbal fluency tasks (semantic and letter) among schizophrenic subjects. However, the possibility of specific categorical deficits has not been adequately investigated. Nor have the effects of task duration, the stability between testing sessions, and the relationship between intelligence and ...

Comparisons of Verbal Fluency Tasks in the Detection of Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
Archives of Neurology, 1992The performances of 89 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) and 53 demographically matched elderly normal control subjects were compared on four verbal fluency measures (category, letter, first names, and supermarket fluency). Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to determine each fluency tasks' sensitivity (ie, true ...

Normative Data for Clustering and Switching on Verbal Fluency Tasks
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2000Normative data for clustering and switching on verbal fluency tasks are provided. Four hundred and eleven healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 91 were given tests of phonemic fluency (FAS or CFL) and semantic fluency (Animals and Supermarket). Raw scores were corrected for demographic (i.e., age, education, and sex) and test (i.e., fluency form ...
