Cognitive or Cognitive-Motor Executive Function Tasks? Evaluating Verbal Fluency Measures in People with Parkinson's Disease
INTRODUCTION Executive function deficits are observed in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) from early stages and have great impact on daily living activities. Verbal fluency and oral diadochokinesia involve phonarticulatory coordination, response inhibition, and phonological processing and may also be affected in people with PD. This study aimed to describe the performance of PD patients and...
متن کاملReduced prefrontal oxygenation in Alzheimer disease during verbal fluency tasks.
OBJECTIVE Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical method to measure changes in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (O(2)Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) in the vascular system of the brain tissue. Because NIRS is easy to assess and does not have any side effects, it seems perfectly suitable for functional measurements in psychiatric patients or fragile subjects. As previous ...
متن کاملSemantic and Phonemic Verbal Fluency in Parkinson’s Disease: Influence of Clinical and Demographic Variables
Changes of cognitive function in PD have been extensively documented and defined as a 'frontal' type executive dysfunction. One of the main components of this executive dysfunction is the impairment of verbal fluency. The aim of the present study was to assess semantic and phonemic fluency in a large sample of PD patients and to investigate the effect of clinical and sociodemographic variables ...
متن کاملNorms from the Georgia Centenarian Study: measures of verbal abstract reasoning, fluency, memory, and motor function.
We previously presented normative data from a relatively large, population-based sample (n = 244) of centenarians and a reference group of octogenarians (n = 80) for several brief, global neurocognitive tasks adapted for use for older adults with physical and sensory limitations ( Miller et al., 2010 , Neuropsychological, Development, and Cognition. Section B: Aging, Neuropsychology and Cogniti...

Many previous treatments of voluntary behavior have viewed intentions as causes of behavior. This has resulted in several dilemmas, including a dilemma concerning the origin of intentions. The present article circumvents traditional dilemmas by treating intentions as constraints that restrict degrees of freedom for behavior. Constraints self-organize as temporary dynamic structures that span th...
