| Abstract:"Objective: HIV infection is associated with impairments in action (verb) fluency (AF), a novel measure of verbal fluency based on the hypothesized dissociation between noun and verb retrieval from semantic memory. HIV-associated deficits in AF are correlated with impairments in executive functions; however the possible contributions of semantic memory to AF deficits in HIV have not yet been evaluated. Thus, this study sought to examine the specific contributions of semantic memory to AF performance in HIV-infected individuals. |
