“…The studies that are available show contradictory results. In some cases, gender represented a signifi cant variable in the distribution of the results (Capitani, Laiacona, & Barbarotto, 1999;Laws, 1999Laws, , 2004Marino & Alderete, 2010;Marra, Ferraccioli, & Gainotti, 2007;McKenna & Parry, 1994;Soriano et al, 2015) while, in others, it had no impact or this was only relative (Casals-Coll et al, 2013;Fernández et al, 2004). In general, women have a better performance than men in verbal fl uency tasks (Halpern, 1992).…”

“…Some studies have shown that the results in verbal fl uency tests proportionally improve with age (Casals-Coll et al, 2013;Fernández et al, 2004;Kempler et al, 1998;Lezak et al, 2004;Lozano Gutiérrez & Ostrosky-Solís, 2006;Ollari & Diez, 2005;Pekkala et al, 2009). However, there are studies with elderly people that demonstrate the existence of an infl ection point (from the sixth decade onwards), where the performance begins to decrease as the age rises.…”

The aim of this work is to obtain data about the evolutionary pattern of performance in verbal fl uency tasks for a sample of Argentinean primary school aged children (3 rd , 5 th y 7 th grade) in semantic and phonological verbal fl uency tasks. For the semantic fl uency task, children were assessed in different categories: animals, fruits and vegetables, and body parts for living things domain, and means of transport, musical instruments and clothes for inanimate objects. For the phonological fl uency assessment, children were tested with /f/, /a/ and /s/ phonemes. Both fl uency tasks showed differences between grades, indicating the infl uence of education. Besides, irrespective of the grade, children performed better on the semantic fl uency tasks. Results in the semantic fl uency task also showed a better performance for the living things domain over the inanimate objects domain. Further analysis on the results showed that 3 rd grade children have the worst performance, compared to 5 th and 7 th grade children. The results of our work are discussed taking in account cognitive mechanisms, executive functions and semantic memory development.Keywords: Semantic fl uency, phonological fl uency, educational status, children. Fluência Semântica e Fonológica em uma Amostra de Crianças Argentinas ResumoNo presente trabalho oferecemos dados de tarefas de fl uência verbal para crianças argentinas de 3°, 5° e 7 ° ano do ensino fundamental. Os participantes foram avaliados com uma tarefa de fl uência semântica, que testou as categorias de animais, frutas e legumes e partes do corpo para o domínio dos seres vivos e meios de transporte, instrumentos musicais e roupas para os objetos inanimados. As crianças também foram avaliadas com uma tarefa de fl uência fonológica que testou os fonemas /f/, /a/ e /s/. Os dados obtidos apontam para diferenças de desempenho entre as tarefas e mostraram um melhor desempenho

“…This is because changes in executive functions are not as well evaluated in the MEM and are present in several cases of dementia syndrome, as an initial -and often almost exclusive -manifestation. The evaluation of verbal fluency is usually employed to investigate lexical evocation skills and semantic knowledge; also allowing the evaluation of other cognitive functions, such as attention, long-term memory, mental flexibility, capacity to inhibit responses and mental processing speed [11][12][13][14] . Therefore, in those patients with a doubt about the presence of mild cognitive decline, whether it is a very early dementia or a mild cognitive impairment, the combined use of these tests is recommended.…”

“…Therefore, in those patients with a doubt about the presence of mild cognitive decline, whether it is a very early dementia or a mild cognitive impairment, the combined use of these tests is recommended. In addition, the MEM and the VFT are instruments of rapid application and with previous studies in the Brazilian population [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . It is necessary to consider that several diseases can occur with cognitive alterations at some point in their evolution, however, these changes often are not perceived by patients and relatives and, as a consequence, they are not reported to health professionals, making it difficult to achieve an early diagnosis 17,18 .…”

“…This was possible due to two factors that were isolated or which occurred concurrently. One factor presents a low level of schooling of the studied sample and its effect individuals [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . These findings agree with the present study that presented a statistically significant difference when comparing the results of individuals who were in the lower age group with individuals over 65 years old in the MEM and FVS test.…”

Hospital cognitive screening of patients with no related complaints

Purposes: to characterize the cognitive performance hospitalized adults and elderly patients with no complaints, check the effect of education and age and correlate the results. Methods: cognitive screening was carried out by the Mini Mental State Examination (MEM) and the Verbal Fluency Test, semantics (FVS) and phonological (FVF) in 25 adults and elderly with no cognitive changes complaints admitted in an internal medicine ward. For statistical analyses, the one-way Anova, followed by post hoc Tukey, the bivariate Person correlation and the nonparametric Fisher's tests were used. Results: a high frequency of cognitive impairment and a moderate correlation among the three tests applied were verified. The educational factor influenced the results of the MEM, the FVF and FVS tests, while the age factor significantly influenced the evidence of MEM and FVS. Conclusion: the data demonstrated that cognitive screening in hospitalized patients without related complaints is important, and that age and education are paramount factors in cognitive performance.

Objective: To characterize the progression of brain structural abnormalities in adults with pediatric and adult/late onset DM1, as well as to examine the potential predictive markers of such progression. Methods: 21 DM1 patients (pediatric onset: N = 9; adult/late onset: N = 12) and 18 healthy controls (HC) were assessed longitudinally over 9.17 years through brain MRI. Additionally, patients underwent neuropsychological, genetic, and muscular impairment assessment. Inter-group comparisons of total and voxel-level regional brain volume were conducted through Voxel Based Morphometry (VBM); cross-sectionally and longitudinally, analyzing the associations between brain changes and demographic, clinical, and cognitive outcomes. Results: The percentage of GM loss did not significantly differ in any of the groups compared with HC and when assessed independently, adult/late DM1 patients and their HC group suffered a significant loss in WM volume. Regional VBM analyses revealed subcortical GM damage in both DM1 groups, evolving to frontal regions in the pediatric onset patients. Muscular impairment and the outcomes of certain neuropsychological tests were significantly associated with follow-up GM damage, while visuoconstruction, attention, and executive function tests showed sensitivity to WM degeneration over time. Interpretation: Distinct patterns of brain atrophy and its progression over time in pediatric and adult/late onset DM1 patients are suggested. Results indicate a possible neurodevelopmental origin of the brain abnormalities in DM1, along with the possible existence of an additional neurodegenerative process. Fronto-subcortical networks appear to be involved in the disease progression at young adulthood in pediatric onset DM1 patients. The involvement of a multimodal integration network in DM1 is discussed.
