Abstract

This study assessed the quantitative and qualitative performance of Lebanese-speaking children on verbal fluency (VF) tasks and investigated the effects of sociodemographic characteristics. This study included 219 Lebanese children aged between 5 and 12 years and 11 months, whose native language is Lebanese-Arabic. Semantic and letter VF tasks were assessed using a range of categories and letters. Switching and clustering strategies were analyzed for 177 Lebanese children. The number of words produced presented a significant increase with age (p < .004) in semantic (SVF), while in letter (LVF), the differences were significant between extreme age groups. Females generated more words in the clothes (p = .003) and household items (p = .002) categories. The total number of switches and clusters showed a significantly increasing pattern with age (p < .05). The number of switches was higher for participants with high maternal (p < .001) and paternal (p < .013) educational levels. Regression analyses showed that the total number of switches and clusters, and the mean cluster size had a significant effect on SVF performance (p < .001). The current study generated preliminary norms for VF tasks for Lebanese-speaking children. The results of the current study have an important contribution to neuropsychology research and clinical practice.

黎巴嫩儿童的口语流利程度：初步标准数据、社会人口决定因素以及聚类和转换模式。

本研究评估了讲黎巴嫩语的儿童在口头流利性（VF）任务中的定量和定性表现，并调查了社会人口特征的影响。这项研究包括 219 名黎巴嫩儿童，年龄在 5 到 12 岁零 11 个月之间，母语为黎巴嫩阿拉伯语。使用一系列类别和字母对语义和字母 VF 任务进行了评估。对 177 名黎巴嫩儿童的转换和聚类策略进行了分析。随着年龄（p p = .003）和家庭物品（p = .002）类别的增加，产生的单词数量也明显增加。随着年龄的增长，切换和聚类的总数也呈现出明显的增长模式（p p p p

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
