“…None of the fluency tasks was used in the diagnosis and group classification. All neuropsychological tests have suitable psychometric properties (Lezak et al, 2004;Peña-Casanova, Gramunt Fombuena, & Gich Fullà, 2004;Strauss, Sherman, & Spreen, 2006).…”

Objective: Cognitive processes underlying verbal and design fluency, and their neural correlates in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and behavioural variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) remain unclear. We hypothesised that verbal and design fluency may be associated with distinct neuropsychological processes in AD and FTD, showing different patterns of impairment and neural basis. Methods: We enrolled 142 participants including patients with AD (n = 80, mean age = 74.71), bvFTD (n = 34, mean age = 68.18), and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 28, mean age = 71.14), that underwent cognitive assessment and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging. Results: Semantic and phonemic fluency showed the largest effect sizes between groups, showing lower scores in bvFTD than AD and HCs, and lower scores in AD than HC. Both AD and bvFTD showed a lower number of unique designs in design fluency in comparison to HC. Semantic fluency was correlated with left frontotemporal lobe in AD, and with left frontal, caudate, and thalamus in bvFTD. Percentage of unique designs in design fluency was associated with the metabolism of the bilateral fronto-temporo-parietal cortex in AD, and the bilateral frontal cortex with right predominance in bvFTD. Repetitions in AD were correlated with bilateral frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, and with left prefrontal cortex in bvFTD. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate differential underlying cognitive processes in verbal and design fluency in AD and bvFTD. While memory and executive functioning associated with fronto-temporo-parietal regions were key in AD, attention and executive functions correlated with the frontal cortex and played a more significant role in bvFTD during fluency tasks.

“…This test evaluates perception, visuoconstructional ability, and visual memory. Additionally, it makes it possible to evaluate planning, organization, problem-solving strategies, and motor function skills [26]. The Rey complex figure test shows good internal consistency, according to the Cronbach's alpha coefficient estimated at 0.86 when copying and 0.81 when drawing from memory [23].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to characterize the cognitive performance of individuals with animal hoarding. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, in which 33 individuals between the ages of 29 to 84 (M = 61.39; SD = 12.69) with animal hoarding have been assessed. The participants completed a neurocognitive battery including measures of general cognitive functioning, visual memory and organization, verbal fluency, and verbal reasoning. Results: Data suggest that individuals with animal hoarding have high rates of cognitive deficits related to visual memory and verbal reasoning. Conclusions: Based on the performance tests used, we can suggest the existence of cognitive difficulties related especially to the executive functions of individuals with animal hoarding in this sample.

“…Por este motivo, en los años recientes, se ha señalado la necesidad de construir este "corpus de contraste" atendiendo a las variables sociales específicas de los pacientes bajo estudio, ya que influyen en la forma en que los hablantes, con o sin patología, se comunican. En particular, se ha pugnado por la inclusión de las teorías y las metodologías de la sociolingüística al campo clínico (Ball, 1992(Ball, , 2005Obler, 2005;Peña-Casanova et al, 2019), donde "es importante tener en cuenta las múltiples dimensiones del lenguaje, así como todos los aspectos sociales y culturales englobados en diversas ramas de la lingüística" (Peña-Casanova et al, 2019, p. 3).…”

Este trabajo tiene dos objetivos, (i) caracterizar las funciones de los apéndices comprobativos en dos hablantes con afasia fluente y (ii) contrastar estos resultados con los de dos hablantes sin patología con características sociales semejantes. Se busca, por un lado, determinar si los hablantes con afasia fluente emplean con mayor, igual o menor medida estos apéndices y, por el otro, describir si hay semejanzas en las funciones y en el tipo de comprobativos que se emplean en ambos grupos. Así pues, se conformaron dos muestras, la primera compuesta por dos hablantes diagnosticados con afasia fluente y, a partir de sus características demográficas, se seleccionaron dos entrevistas del volumen 3 del Corpus Sociolingüístico de la Ciudad de México (Martín Butragueño y Lastra, 2015). Los resultados indican que: (i) los comprobativos se conservan a pesar de la patología, (ii) los hablantes con afasia los emplean con mayor frecuencia para realizar funciones de: continuativo, gestión de la interacción fática, focalizador, intensificador y como parte de una estrategia de cortesía positiva, y (iii) los comprobativos más comunes en la variante del español de la Ciudad de México –¿no?, ¿verdad? y ¿eh?– son empleados en ambos grupos. Finalmente, se reitera la importancia de incluir en las investigaciones clínicas a un grupo de control, que comparta las características sociales de los pacientes, para poder comparar los usos reales de la competencia comunicativa de estos últimos.
