Implication

Analysis shows verbal fluency is affected by cognitive engagement and social interactions, indicating their role in healthy aging.

Key Points

  • Verbal fluency is influenced by cognitive engagement, social interactions, and self-reported health.
  • Singing experience and higher education correlate with better fluency scores in older adults.
  • Cognitive decline manifests through increased filled hesitations, while self-talk rises with age.
  • The protective effect of education and social practices on fluency remains uncertain in aging.
