Abstract
Perseveration has been associated with abnormalities of language function in a variety of neurological states. In this paper I review the nature of perseveration; the ways in which perseveration influences language in aphasia; and perseveration as it affects language in dementia and normal aging. Evidence supports the conclusion that perseveration is an integral part of language dysfunction in conditions of altered neural activity, and that perseveration is specifically linked to abnormalities of semantic memory, often manifested clinically as a disorder of naming or word finding.
