Verbal fluency and figural fluency in bright children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intellectually bright children in Grades 2, 4, and 6 from one school and adults were assessed on measures of verbal and on a new measure of figural fluency. Consistent with previous research, age-dependent performance was observed on both fluency tasks. Analysis of covariance with motor speed as the covariate reduced the F ratio for the figural task, although age-related significant differences persisted. Results suggest that age-related improvement of performance on fluency measures with intellectually bright subjects differs from that for intellectually average subjects. Hypotheses are also advanced regarding the proposed reliable figural-fluency task as preferable to previously employed nonverbal measures, suggesting a more valid dissociation of function. These preliminary findings encourage further research on the age- and IQ-related aspects of verbal and figural fluency.

متن کاملDesigning the Application of Verbal Fluency Test in Persian for Neurocognitive Evaluations
Verbal fluency test is a useful method to evaluate cognitive executive functions. Studies have shown that both types of verbal fluency test (phonemic and semantic) are influenced by brain damage. This test is rarely used by clinicians because it takes too much time to perform. Therefore, we decided to increase its speed and accuracy by designing a verbal fluency test application in Persian lang...
