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
