Verbal fluency tests are quickly administered, easy to use, and regularly used in the neuropsychological assessment. The aim of this study was to present regression-based reference data for eight different verbal fluency tests in a Danish sample (aged 60-96 years) to determine the influence of age, gender, and education on test-performances. The results showed that age and education were significantly associated with both categories, lexical and alternating fluency tests, and gender had a significant impact on two tests. All tests were significantly correlated, but there was a much stronger association between tests of the same type (lexical versus category) than between different types of tests indicating that various fluency tasks draw on different cognitive abilities. Specific patterns of impairment can be analyzed using these normative data and may be important in the assessment of dementia spectrum disorders.

丹麦成年人中八种口头流利度度量的标准数据。

快速进行口语流利性测试，易于使用，并定期在神经心理学评估中使用。这项研究的目的是为丹麦样本（60-96岁）中的八种不同的语言流利度测试提供基于回归的参考数据，以确定年龄，性别和教育程度对测试成绩的影响。结果显示，年龄和文化程度与词汇和交替流利度测试这两个类别均显着相关，而性别对两项测试有显着影响。所有测试都具有显着的相关性，但是同一类型（词汇与类别）的测试之间的关联要比不同类型的测试之间的关联强得多，这表明各种流利性任务需要不同的认知能力。
