The part of a sentence "functional fluency" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing someone's ability to effectively communicate and understand a language in practical day-to-day situations. Example: "Maria's functional fluency in Spanish allowed her to seamlessly navigate through the bustling streets of Madrid during her trip."
To avoid the methodological pitfalls associated with functional imaging studies of fluency, we used structural imaging to examine the neurological correlates of the standard fluency tasks in normal healthy participants.
The functional neuroanatomy of verbal fluency shows strong potential as a diagnostic marker for schizophrenia which is distinct from bipolar disorder.
Second, the fluency manipulation reduced functional connectivity between HC and PRC in young adults, but it increased it in older adults.
Using the results of the DTI analysis, we then investigate altered thalamo cortical functional connectivity during phonemic verbal fluency, a task impaired in participants with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (Kim et al., 2007; Roebling et al., 2009; O'Muircheartaigh et al., 2011 a ) and which may induce myoclonic jerks (da Silva Sousa et al., 2005).
This pilot study sought to (1) characterize the relationship between phonemic fluency and resting-state functional brain connectivity in AMD patients and (2) determine whether regional connections associated with phonemic fluency in AMD patients were similarly linked to phonemic fluency in healthy participants.
Much has been made of Brazil's move away from flair and fluency towards a more functional approach, but Scolari said history only remembered results, not how you got them.
The Controlled Oral Word Association Test (Loonstra et al., 2001), a standardized measure of phonemic fluency, was performed before functional MRI acquisition.
The meta-analysis of fMRI studies reporting activations for verbal fluency tasks showed a functional network included in the structural network identified by tractography (Fig. 7b).
In the present study, we used the verbal fluency task to investigate the functional neuroanatomy of executive function in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The present study investigated the short- and long-term retest reliability of brain activity measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during verbal fluency, the most published cognitive task within fNIRS literature.
