LANGUAGE, [VISUOSPATIAL/VISUOMOTOR] - Coggle Diagram
LANGUAGE
Color Naming
-
Basic Processing Speed: The task assesses how quickly a person can visually identify and name colors.
Attention and Concentration: It requires sustained attention to the visual stimuli, focusing on naming the correct colors without distraction.
Visual Processing: The test involves the ability to process visual information efficiently, especially distinguishing between different colors.
-
Phonemic Fluency
Lexical Retrieval: The ability to access and retrieve words from memory that start with the given phoneme.
Executive Functioning: The task involves mental organization, strategy use, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition (e.g., avoiding words that don't meet the criteria or repetitions). It requires the ability to monitor responses and adjust as needed.
Working Memory: Maintaining the letter cue in mind while generating responses and keeping track of words that have already been produced.
Verbal Fluency: The capacity to fluently produce words under the constraint of starting with a particular letter.
Speed of Processing: It also reflects how quickly and efficiently the brain can access and produce relevant words.
Boston Naming Test
Lexical Access and Retrieval: The ability to retrieve the correct word from memory when given a visual stimulus (picture).
Language Production: It tests expressive language skills, specifically the ability to verbally label or name objects.
-
Visual Perception and Recognition: Since participants are required to name pictures, the ability to visually recognize and interpret the image is also a key component.
Semantic Fluency
Semantic Memory: The test assesses access to long-term knowledge about the meaning of words and the relationships between them.
Lexical Retrieval: It evaluates the ability to efficiently retrieve words from memory that fit the given category.
Speed of Processing: It also measures how quickly the brain can access and produce the correct words.
Executive Functioning: The task requires mental organization, strategy use, and monitoring to avoid repetition and stay within the category, which involves cognitive flexibility and inhibition.
Word Reading
Basic Reading Ability: It assesses a person's ability to quickly and accurately read printed words aloud.
Language Processing: This includes recognizing and pronouncing familiar words, tapping into the automatic processing of language.
-
Attention and Concentration: Sustained focus is required to accurately read through the list without errors.
