Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: The objective of this research was to compare the verbal fluency skills of patients diagnosed as having amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)with the participants without neurologic or psychiatric problems through quantitative and qualitative analysis, and to determine in which aspects patients withaMCI differed from the control group.Materials and Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 20 individuals who presented to Özel Acıbadem Eskisehir Hospital with the symptom offorgetfulness and were diagnosed as having aMCI, and a healthy control group of the same size (n=20).

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this research was to compare the verbal fluency skills of patients diagnosed as having amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)with the participants without neurologic or psychiatric problems through quantitative and qualitative analysis, and to determine in which aspects patients withaMCI differed from the control group.Materials and Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 20 individuals who presented to Özel Acıbadem Eskisehir Hospital with the symptom offorgetfulness and were diagnosed as having aMCI, and a healthy control group of the same size (n=20). All participants were administered preplanned verbalfluency tests that are valid and reliable, specifically for the mother language. Intergroup comparisons were made in the light of quantitative and qualitativeassessments. Through the quantitative analysis, the total number of words produced in a limited amount of time under certain conditions was evaluated, andthrough the qualitative analysis, clustering and switching skills and error patterns such as perseveration and category violation were assessed.Results: It was determined that the aMCI group showed a deterioration in verbal fluency skills, and individuals with aMCI had significantly lower scores on bothphonemic (u=296.5, p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı amnestik hafif kognitif bozukluk (aHKB) tanısı almış olgular ile herhangi bir nörolojik ve psikiyatrik sorunu olmayan katılımcıları sözel akıcılık becerileri açısından niceliksel ve niteliksel analizlerle karşılaştırmak ve aHKB hastalarının kontrol grubundan hangi alanlarda farklılık gösterdiğini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın evreni, Özel Acıbadem Eskişehir Hastanesi’ne unutkanlık şikayeti ile başvuran ve aHKB tanısı alan 20 kişi ve aynı sayıdaki (n=20) sağlıklı bir kontrol grubundan oluşmuştur. Tüm katılımcılara daha önceden planlanan ve ana dile özgü geçerlilik ve güvenirliliği bulunan sözel akıcılık testleri uygulanmış, niceliksel ve niteliksel değerlendirmeler sonucunda gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır. Niceliksel analizde verilen koşula uygun olarak belli sürede üretilen toplam sözcük sayısı, niteliksel analizde ise öbekleme ve geçiş yapma becerileri ile perseverasyon ve kategori ihlali gibi hata örüntüleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: aHKB grubunda sözel akıcılık becerilerinin bozulma gösterdiği; aHKB’li bireylerin toplam sözcük sayısı bakımından hem fonemik (u=296,5, p
