Neuropsychological TestsFunctional LateralityMiddle AgedNamesIn order to determine the dissociability of face, voice, and personal name recognition, we studied the performance of 36 brain-lesioned patients and 20 control subjects. Participants performed familiarity decisions for portraits, voice samples, ...
Aging is associated with phenomena of slowing down of cognitive processes and impairment of neuropsychological performances. Elderly people also report difficulty in the retrieval of proper names. Verbal fluency (VF) tests are particularly effective for the identification of even slight mental impairments....
A review of neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies demonstrates that left inferior frontal regions may play a critical role in controlling semantic interference top-down. We discuss the implications of these findings for language production research and for models of lexical-semantic encoding. 阅读PDF...

Neuropsychological TestsThe objective of this study was to seek evidence of the particular sensitivity of proper name retrieval and to check the usefulness of proper names as diagnostic material in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether a generalized naming deficit is an early ...
All participants underwent a neuropsychological assessment, APOE genotype testing, a fMRI scanning procedure, and a post-scanning questionnaire. The BOLD signal changes associated with extent of semantic knowledge ratings were extracted for analysis.; A voxel-wise analysis was performed to determine the ...
