| Summary | Verbal fluency test require to produce as much words as possible in one or two minutes. This test is highly sensitive to main brain diseases and are therefore widely used in clinical routine for diagnostic purpose. The verbal fluency task requires several cognitive processes including executive and linguistic processes for which it is difficult to extract the origin of the deficit. For this reason, fluency tests are variably interpreted in terms of executive or language. The implementation of an experimental protocol exploring each of these processes separately and studying the links between the verbal fluency task and each of these processes should allow a better understanding of the origin of the verbal fluency deficit after brain injury and improve the identification of key brain struct |
