Overview

This study assesses how verbal fluency tasks with executive processing loads differentiate cognitive impairment in older adults, indicating potential Alzheimer's detection tools.

Key Points

  • High-executive-load verbal fluency tasks identify cognitive impairment in early dementia stages.
  • Participants with subjective cognitive decline performed worse on tasks requiring higher executive function.
  • Discriminant and ROC analyses highlighted specific verbal fluency tasks as effective markers for cognitive status.
  • Gender differences were inconsistent, and education level significantly impacted verbal fluency performance.
