Abstract

Semantic and phonemic verbal fluency tests are widely used neuropsychological assessments of executive functions and language skills and are easy to administer. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of age, education, and gender on semantic and phonemic verbal fluency tests and to establish normative data for Turkish adults aged between 18 and 86 years. The results revealed significant main effects of age and education on all subscores of verbal fluency tests. Furthermore, an interaction effect between age and education was observed on semantic fluency and letter K fluency scores. While no significant differences were found among the 18-29, 30-39, and 40-49 age groups in any of the subscores, performance on the tests decreased with increasing age. Significant differences were observed among all education groups in all subscores. No main or interaction effects of gender were found on any subscore. These normative data could prove useful in clinical and research settings for the assessment of cognitive impairment.

语义和音位言语流利性测试:土耳其人口的标准数据。
语义和音位言语流畅性测试是对执行功能和语言技能进行的广泛应用的神经心理学评估,而且易于实施。本研究旨在确定年龄、教育程度和性别对语义和音位言语流畅性测试的影响,并为年龄在 18 至 86 岁之间的土耳其成年人建立常模数据。结果显示,年龄和教育程度对言语流利性测试的所有分值都有明显的主效应。此外,年龄和教育程度对语义流畅性和字母 K 流畅性得分也有交互影响。虽然 18-29 岁、30-39 岁和 40-49 岁年龄组之间在任何分项得分上都没有发现明显差异,但随着年龄的增长,测试成绩却有所下降。所有教育程度组别在所有分项得分上都存在显著差异。没有发现性别对任何子分数有主效应或交互效应。这些常模数据可用于临床和研究中对认知障碍的评估。
