| Abstract: | Neuropsychological measures of fluency require productivity under timed conditions. The current study explored the parameters of fluency paradigms by extending the associational demands of the tasks. Ss with frontal lobe tumors (n = 17) were compared with normal subjects (n = 17) on simple and complex fluency tasks. Complex fluency tasks appeared to be more sensitive to tumor presence than simple tasks but were not more sensitive to absolute tumor volume. Results are discussed with regard to the potential role of the frontal lobes in associational memory search and creative thought. |
