Resumo: | We compared the performance of 31 non-demented Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients to 61 healthy controls in an action verbal fluency task. Semantic and phonemic fluencies, cognitive impairment and behavioural dysfunction were also assessed. The mean disease duration of PD was 9.8 years (standard deviation (SD) = 6.13). There were no age (U = 899.5, p = 0.616), gender(chi-square = 0.00, p = 1.00) or literacy (U = 956, p = 0.96) differences between the two groups. A significant difference was observed between the two groups in the action verbal fluency task (U = 406.5, p < 0.01) that was not found in the other fluency tasks. The education level was the only biographical variable that influenced the action (verb) fluency outcomes, irrespective of disease duration. Our findings suggest a correlation between the disease mechanisms in PD and a specific verb deficit, support the validity of the action (verb) fluency as an executive function measure and suggest that this task provides unique information not captured with traditional executive function tasks. |

As funções executivas e comportamentais foram igualmente avaliadas. O tempo de evolução foi de 9,8 anos (DP = 6,13). Não foram encontradas diferenças de idade (U = 899,5, p = 0,616), género (X2 = 0,00, p = 1,00) ou literacia (U = 956, p = 0,96) entre os dois grupos. Diferenças significativas foram encontradas na prova de fluência verbal de ação (U = 406,5, p < 0,01) que não se verificaram nas restantes provas. O nível educacional foi a única variável biográfica que influenciou o desempenho das tarefas, independentemente do tempo de evolução da doença. Os resultados sugerem uma correlação entre os mecanismos patológicos da DP e um déficit específico para a evocação de verbos e que a prova de fluência de ação providencia uma informação importante que não é detectada pelos restantes testes executivos.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaRodrigues, Inês TelloFerreira, Joaquim J.Coelho, MiguelRosa, Mario M.Castro-Caldas, Alexandre2021-09-20T12:42:15Z20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/35001eng0004-282X10.1590/0004-282X201500568493097376026083889000356451700011info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-08-15T01:42:30Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/35001Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:23.009512Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
