Verbal fluency as a function of a measure of verbal intelligence and in relation to different types of cerebral pathology
Abstract
A measure of verbal fluency was derived from groups of patients with focal lesions and dementia and from normal control subjects. A regression equation was also derived to predict fluency from an index of verbal intelligence. Subjects with right or left frontal lesions and those with dementia had depressed fluency scores. When verbal intelligence was taken into account using the regression equation, fluency still remained depressed in subjects with frontal lesions, but for dements the obtained fluency score was similar to that predicted from the measure of verbal intelligence. The results suggest that impaired fluency is a specific phenomenon following frontal lesions but is merely a consequence of intellectual deterioration in dementia.

“Studies have shown, for example, that frontal lobe damage results in disproportionate impairment to letter fluency (e.g. Hodges et al., 1999; Miller, 1984; Baldo et al. 2001; Moscovitch et al., 1994)”

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.
