Letter and category fluency in community-dwelling canadian seniors: A comparison of normal participants to those with dementia of the Alzheimer or vascular type
Abstract
Measures of letter (FAS) and category (Animal Naming) fluency were completed by community-dwelling, cognitively normal seniors (n = 635), and by individuals diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) (n = 155), or with vascular dementia (n = 39). Among normal seniors, category, but not letter fluency, declined with age, females performed better than males on letter but not on category fluency, and performance increased with education on both tasks. Among participants with DAT, letter fluency was influenced by level of education, whereas category fluency was education-, age-, and gender-invariant. Both measures differentiated normal seniors from those with dementia. Category fluency was more impaired than letter fluency at both mild and moderate stages of dementia, but neither task differentiated DAT from vascular dementia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
