Semantic verbal fluency (SVF) test performance is consistent across Spanish-speaking countries when age and schooling are considered. Cultural differences do not significantly impact SVF results, suggesting standardization is key.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Semantic verbal fluency (SVF) is a widely used clinical and experimental test.
  • Previous research indicates age, schooling, and culture influence SVF performance.
  • No studies have compared SVF performance in speakers of the same language from different countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze Semantic Verbal Fluency (SVF) test data from adult Spanish speakers.
  • To investigate the influence of culture, age, and schooling on SVF outcomes.
  • To determine if cultural background affects SVF performance among Spanish speakers.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 'animals' category data from the SVF test in adult Spanish speakers.
  • Comparison of cultural, age, and schooling variables with existing research data.

  • Evaluation of potential variations in test administration and scoring.

    • Main Results:

    • SVF test results are comparable across Spanish-speaking countries when age and schooling are controlled.
    • Observed differences are more likely attributable to test administration and scoring variations than cultural factors.
    • A standardized method for test application is proposed to unify future variables.

    Conclusions:

    • Age and schooling are significant determinants of SVF performance.
    • Cultural background does not appear to be a determining factor in SVF performance.
    • Standardizing SVF test administration is recommended for cross-cultural comparability.
