Semantic fluency and phonemic fluency: regression-based norms for the Portuguese population.
The main goal of this study was to produce adjusted normative data for the Portuguese population on two verbal fluency measures: the semantic fluency test (animals category) and the phonemic fluency test (letters M, R, and P). The study included 950 community-dwelling individuals (624 women and 326 men) aged between 18 and 98 (mean = 57.8, SD = 19.0), who had educational backgrounds ranging fro...
متن کاملTrail Making Test: regression-based norms for the Portuguese population.
The main goal of this study was to produce normative data for the Portuguese population on the Trail Making Test (TMT). The study included 1,038 community-dwelling individuals aged between 18 and 93 years, who had educational backgrounds ranging from 3 to 22 years. The results showed that sex, age, and education were significantly associated with TMT performance. These demographic characteristi...
متن کاملThe Absoluteness of Semantic Processing: Lessons from the Analysis of Temporal Clusters in Phonemic Verbal Fluency
BACKGROUND For word production, we may consciously pursue semantic or phonological search strategies, but it is uncertain whether we can retrieve the different aspects of lexical information independently from each other. We therefore studied the spread of semantic information into words produced under exclusively phonemic task demands. METHODS 42 subjects participated in a letter verbal flue...
متن کاملNeural Signatures of Semantic and Phonemic Fluency in Young and Old Adults
As we age, our ability to select and to produce words changes, yet we know little about the underlying neural substrate of word-finding difficulties in old adults. This study was designed to elucidate changes in specific frontally mediated retrieval processes involved in word-finding difficulties associated with advanced age. We implemented two overt verbal (semantic and phonemic) fluency tasks...
متن کاملStructural Correlates of Semantic and Phonemic Fluency Ability in First and Second Languages
Category and letter fluency tasks are commonly used clinically to investigate the semantic and phonological processes central to speech production, but the neural correlates of these processes are difficult to establish with functional neuroimaging because of the relatively unconstrained nature of the tasks. This study investigated whether differential performance on semantic (category) and pho...
