Research Abstract |
We showed the specific brain areas related with three types of verbal fluency tasks, respectively. Subjects were normal native Japanese speakers. We presumed that a subject would retrieve analog words for semantic verbal fluency tasks and sentence-complete tasks, respectively. However, comparing between results of these two tasks, the latter more activated the right hemisphere. From this result, we showed that the right hemisphere activity was important to lead aphasia patients to sentence-level performance.
