Clustering and switching patterns in semantic verbal fluency among Chinese older adults: associations with cognitive function and dementia screening

2026-02-24

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Verbal fluency tasks can aid in the early detection of dementia, although the underlying cognitive mechanisms, particularly in Mandarin-speaking populations, remain underexplored. Prior studies often emphasize number of words generated, overlooking more complex components such as clustering and switching and their associations with cognitive functions like memory and orientation. To add...
