The role of linguistic knowledge in verbal fluency tests: How individual differences in language skills shape the mental lexicon.

"List as many words as you can that start with M." The verbal fluency (VF) task is simple, yet even a typical university student only manages to produce about 15 words within 1 min, and there is substantial variability around this mean. The present study examined how linguistic and domain-general abilities contributed...

METHOD Thirty-eight young adults and 44 healthy older adults completed phonemic, semantic, and emotional fluency tasks, together with standard...

Can lexical properties of words produced on a semantic fluency task distinguish older adults with cognitive decline from older adults with stable cognitive scores?

Word properties of items generated on a semantic fluency task differed between cognitively impaired and cognitively stable groups, and ability to offer incremental validity for differential diagnosis and early detection over total scores alone was explored.

Does script format matter for language lateralisation? A functional transcranial Doppler study of Chinese verbal fluency.

Although language production is generally dominated by the left hemisphere, it remains uncertain whether the script format influences the degree of this lateralization. To examine this issue, verbal fluency was assessed in 96 right-handed native Chinese speakers using functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD)....

Shared Variance Across Cognitive Assessments Predicts Language Outcomes in Aphasia: A Preliminary Study.

PURPOSE Aphasia, a common consequence of stroke, often co-occurs with cognitive impairments, yet clinical assessment is limited by tools that are lengthy, linguistically demanding, and sometimes redundant. This preliminary study examined shared variance across widely used cognitive tests and explored how the resulting...
