Abstract
IntroductionLexical fluency tests are frequently used in clinical practice to assess language and executive function. ObjectiveAs part of the Spanish normative studies project in young adults (NEURONORMA young adults project), we provide age- and education-adjusted normative data for 3 semantic fluency tasks (animals, fruits and vegetables, and kitchen tools), three formal lexical fluency tasks (words beginning with P, M and R), three excluded-letter fluency tasks (words excluding A, E and S) and a verb fluency task. Material and methodsThe sample consisted of 179 participants who are cognitively normal and range in age from 18 to 49 years. Tables are provided to convert raw scores to scaled scores. Age- and education-adjusted scores are provided by applying linear regression techniques. ResultsThe results show that education impacted most of the verbal fluency test scores, with no effects related to age and only minimal effects related to sex. ConclusionsThe norms obtained will be extremely useful in the clinical evaluation of young Spanish adults.
