Cultural‐linguistic divergences in animal fluency performance between Korean‐ and English‐speaking older adults with Alzheimer's disease
These findings demonstrate that animal fluency tasks may elicit culturally-distinct retrieval patterns in AD, consistent with previous findings in stroke aphasia. Culture-specific categories reflecting East Asian features were more strongly linked to cognitive decline in Korean-AD, suggesting that culturally-sensitive analyses of verbal fluency offer valuable clinical insights.
