Efecto del envejecimiento sobre el contenido motor en la fluidez de verbos
Backround
Verb fluency is a sensitive neuropsychological test to frontostriatal integrity. Changes in brain physiology and morphology occur with aging, however, their impact on semantic aspects of the verb fluency is unknown.
Objective
To assess the effect of aging on the sequential production of motor content and lexical frequency in the verb fluency task.
Materials and Methods
Eighty-six subjects were recruited, organized into four age groups: 51-55, 56-60, 61-65 and 66-70 years. The production sequence was analyzed in four 15-second intervals of the verb fluency paradigm with three measures: verbs produced, motor content, and lexical frequency. Mood, global cognitive state, and education was controlled.
Results
An initial effect of high motor content is reported in a sample of older adults, consisting verb production with higher motor content during the first 15-seconds interval of verb fluency. This initial motor content is lower in the 66-70 age group compared to adults aged 51-60 years and is independent of the psycholinguistic and demographic variables analyzed.
Conclusions
This study is pioneering in providing data on motor content during verb fluency in an exploratory sample of older Mexican Spanish speakers; larger studies are needed to generalize the results. The importance of assessing semantic parameters in verb fluency as a promising tool for clinical practice in patients with frontostriatal impairment is highlighted.
