This non-fluency also distinguishes language variant AD from the second atypical AD language syndrome, logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA).
Those for whom the study procedures were not feasible due to severe dementia, unstable medical condition, or non-English fluency, were excluded.
Cognitive assessment: To quantify the neurocognitive variables; attention, working memory, executive functions, impulsiveness, verbal and non-verbal fluency, the following tests will be conducted: (1) continuous performance test; 77 (2) digit symbol test; 78 (3) digit span test; 79 (4) verbal fluency test; 80 (5) five point test; 81 (6) revised Taylor complex test 82 and (7) Stroop test.
4Additional measures of assimilation include fertility rates (higher for non-assimilated), labor force participation for women (lower among non-assimilated), and English fluency (lower among non-assimilated).
Finally, in the generative fluency non-verbal RFFT task, the switcher group produced significantly fewer unique designs than the non-switch group, indicating a less efficient strategy.
To this end we included data for the following measures from the comprehensive aphasia test: auditory repetition (word and non-word), verbal fluency and picture naming.
The PNFA group performed significantly less well than the semantic dementia group on non-verbal design fluency, while the semantic dementia group performed significantly less well than the PNFA group on the concrete words component of the synonyms test.
In neither the PNFA nor the semantic dementia group was performance on any experimental auditory task significantly associated with a contemporaneous measure of executive function (non-verbal design fluency).
Each model included age and gender as covariates, with the exception of the models for non-verbal design fluency and trail making since these are internally corrected for age and gender.
The aim of this research was to assess Turkish students' contextual and non-contextual silent reading fluency skills and their relations with reading comprehension.
Second, phonemic verbal fluency and non-verbal learning and memory were not impaired relative to HCs; and differences observed in sematic verbal fluency were no longer apparent after family-wise adjustment.
