Article Synopsis
- Semantic and Phonological fluency (SF and PF) are important tasks for evaluating language abilities in patients with Alzheimer's disease, with debates on which is more affected during the disease's progression.
- A meta-analysis of 8 studies involving 1,270 individuals found that all groups performed better on SF than PF, with significant differences noted as individuals moved toward an AD diagnosis.
- The study suggests that SF and PF may operate on different neural pathways, indicating their potential value in diagnosing Alzheimer's and distinguishing normal aging from pathological conditions.
