Verbal memory and verbal fluency tasks used for language localization and lateralization during magnetoencephalography

Epilepsy Research, 2016
The aim of this study was to develop a presurgical magnetoencephalography (MEG) protocol to localize and lateralize expressive and receptive language function as well as verbal memory in patients with epilepsy. Two simple language tasks and a different analytical procedure were developed.Ten healthy participants and 13 epileptic patients completed two ...

NeuroSci
Background: Among the cognitive markers, the deterioration of semantic and phonemic verbal fluency seems to be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Perseverations and switching during a semantic verbal fluency task [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
AbstractBackgroundIt is believed that delayed perseveration on a semantic verbal fluency (SVF) test may occur due to impaired working memory (WM). However, the relation between perseveration and switching, and the self‐generated interference one has to overcome when switching back to a previously visited subcategory has not been explored. In this study

Influence of age and education on the processing of clustering and switching in verbal fluency tasks [PDF]

Dementia & Neuropsychologia, 2018
ABSTRACT Verbal fluency (VF) is a widely used tool in neuropsychological assessment. Objective: We aimed to investigate the influence of age and educational level on clustering and switching in three VF modalities: phonemic (PVF), semantic (SVF) and unconstrained (UVF).

Non-Verbal and Verbal Fluency in Prodromal Huntington's Disease

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra, 2015
Background: This study examines non-verbal (design) and verbal (phonemic and semantic) fluency in prodromal Huntington's disease (HD). An accumulating body of research indicates subtle deficits in cognitive functioning among prodromal mutation carriers ...

Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation Does Not Have Any Acute Effects on Verbal Fluency or on Speed of Word Generation in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2019
Background. Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) has been shown to be generally safe from a cognitive perspective, with consistent evidence that the major impact of STN-DBS in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is on verbal fluency ...

Behavioural fluency for young children with autism [PDF]

, 2002
Fluency is functionally defined by: skill retention after a period without practice; skill endurance over longer intervals than encountered during practice; skill stability in the face of distraction; a performance that can be effortlessly applied to new

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

, 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 ...

A functional magnetic resonance imaging study of overt letter verbal fluency using a clustered acquisition sequence: greater anterior cingulate activation with increased task demand

, 2002
Regional cerebral activation during a cognitive task can vary with task demand and task performance. In a functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we examined the effect of manipulating task demand on activation during verbal fluency by using "easy ...
