THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LETTER FLUENCY MEASURES AND ARABIC GPA

by unknown authors
"... This study investigated two widely-used early literacy skill's indicators in reflecting growth in first-grade language achievement skills. It compared two curriculum-based assessments of letter knowledge: Letter Naming Fluency (LNF) and Letter Sound Fluency (LSF) in the Arabic language. A sampl ..."

On Which Abilities Are Category Fluency and Letter Fluency Grounded? A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of 53 Alzheimer’s Dementia Patients

by S. Karger Ag, Dement Geriatr, Cogn Disord Extra, Ilaria Bizzozero, Stefania Scotti, Marcella Laiacona, Erminio Capitani, Erminio Capitani Md
"... Language · Dementia · Verbal fluency · Semantics · Attention Background/Aims: In Alzheimer’s dementia (AD), letter fluency is less impaired than catego-ry fluency. To check whether category fluency and letter fluency depend differently on se-mantics and attention, 53 mild AD patients were given anim ..."

Age Effects on Semantic Coherence: Latent Semantic Analysis Applied to Letter Fluency Data

by unknown authors
"... Abstract—We investigated age-related changes in the semantic distance between successively generated words in two letter fluency tasks differing with respect to demands placed on executive control. The semantic distance was measured by Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). The results show that older peop ..."

Manipulating letter fluency for words alters electrophysiological correlates of recognition memory. Neuroimage 83, 849–861. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.07.039

by Heather D Lucas , Ken A Paller - Neuropsychologia , 2013
"... The mechanisms that give rise to familiarity memory have received intense research interest. One current topic of debate concerns the extent to which familiarity is driven by the same fluency sources that give rise to certain implicit memory phenomena. Familiarity may be tied to conceptual fluency, ..."

BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS Verbal fluency in HIV infection: A meta-analytic review

by Lisa M. Moran, Catherine L. Carey, Igor Grant
"... Given the largely prefrontostriatal neuropathogenesis of HIV-associated neurobehavioral deficits, it is often presumed that HIV infection leads to greater impairment on letter versus category fluency. A meta-analysis of the HIV verbal fluency literature was conducted (k5 37, n5 7110) to assess this ..."

Verbal knowledge and speed of information processing as mediators of age differences in verbal fluency performance among older adults. Psychol Aging

by J Anet Bryan, Mary A Luszcz, J. R. Crawford , 1997
"... Age-related eclines in verbal fluency among a large sample of older adults were investigated. Background variables, verbal knowledge, and speed of processing were examined as predictors of verbal fluency and as mediators of age effects. As expected, age-related eclines were greater on the excluded l ..."

Verbal knowledge was a better predictor of initial letter fluency than speed of processing, whereas the reverse was true for excluded letter fluency. However, speed of processing accounted for more of the age-related variance in both fluency

Further evidence that scopolamine can improve verbal fluency

by M. P. Dunne, D. Statham, B. Raphael, R. Kemp, B. Kelly - Journal of Psychopharmacology , 1993
"... Scopolamine usually is found to impair various aspects of human cognitive performance. Recently, however, a significant (though modest) improvement in verbal fluency has been reported following scopolamine hydrobromide (0.6 and 1.2 mg p.o.). This study replicated that effect, finding significantly b ..."
