abstract = {Semantic verbal fluency (sVF) tasks are commonly used in
clinical diagnostic batteries as well as in a research
context. When performing sVF tasks to assess executive
functions (EFs) the sum of correctly produced words is the
main measure. Although previous research indicates
potentially better insights into EF performance by the use
of finer grained sVF information, this has not yet been
objectively evaluated. To investigate the potential of
employing a finer grained sVF feature set to predict EF
performance, healthy monolingual German speaking
participants (n = 230) were tested with a comprehensive
EF test battery and sVF tasks, from which features including
sum scores, error types, speech breaks and semantic
relatedness were extracted. A machine learning method was
applied to predict EF scores from sVF features in previously
unseen subjects. To investigate the predictive power of the
advanced sVF feature set, we compared it to the commonly
used sum score analysis. Results revealed that 8 / 14 EF
tests were predicted significantly using the comprehensive
sVF feature set, which outperformed sum scores particularly
in predicting cognitive flexibility and inhibitory
processes. These findings highlight the predictive potential
of a comprehensive evaluation of sVF tasks which might be
used as diagnostic screening of EFs.},
