语义流畅性是一项重要的神经心理学任务，通常在“动物”类别中进行管理。随着语义流畅性的新项目级度量的日益发展，围绕项目级分析的有效性的关注可能是个人背景因素（例如，爱好，如观鸟或钓鱼）可能会间接影响表现。我们在项目水平上分析了动物的流畅性表现，并调查了在特定动物类别（例如，鸟类、鱼类、昆虫）以及这些知识与个人背景因素和其他认知任务（情景记忆和执行功能）的关系。参与者包括来自SMART-MR队列的736名荷兰中年至老年人（平均年龄58 ± 9.4岁，18%为女性）。要求个体在2分钟内尽可能多地命名动物。计算具有丰富动物类别知识的人数，以确定回忆特定类别内一系列至少≥5只且最多≥15只动物的能力，最多有一次被另一个类别的动物打断。对特定类别内≥10只动物（第90百分位数）的临界值进行后续分析，以研究丰富类别知识与社会人口统计学特征（t检验和卡方检验）和认知表现（线性回归）的关系，并对≥7只动物（第67百分位数）进行敏感性分析。共有416名（56.2%）参与者回忆起特定类别中≥5只动物的系列，245名（33.3%）参与者回忆起≥7只，78名（10.6%）参与者回忆起≥10只，8名（1.1%）参与者回忆起≥15只。那些在一个班级中回忆起一系列至少10只动物的人年龄较大，通常是男性，并且比那些没有的人更经常退休。此外，他们在动物流畅性、字母流畅性（即，执行功能）和情景记忆任务相比，那些谁没有。我们的研究结果表明，丰富的动物类知识所获得的个人背景的好处并没有间接影响动物流畅性的表现，因为个人与这些知识也表现得更好的其他认知任务无关丰富的动物类知识。
Semantic fluency is a prominent neuropsychological task, typically administered within the category ‘animals’. With the increasing development of novel item-level metrics of semantic fluency, a concern around the validity of item-level analyses could be that personal background factors (e.g., hobbies like birdwatching or fishing) may disproportionally influence performance. We analyzed animal fluency performance at the item level and investigated the prevalence of individuals with abundant knowledge in specific classes of animals (e.g., birds, fish, insects) and the relationship of such knowledge with personal background factors and other cognitive tasks (episodic memory and executive functioning). Participants included 736 Dutch middle-aged to older adults from the SMART-MR cohort (mean age 58 ± 9.4 years, 18% women). Individuals were asked to name as many animals as possible for 2 min. Number of people with abundant animal class knowledge was calculated for the ability to recall a series of minimum ≥5 and up to ≥15 animals within a specific class with at most one interruption by an animal from another class. Subsequent analyses to investigate relationships of abundant class knowledge with sociodemographic characteristics (t-tests and chi-square tests) and cognitive performance (linear regressions) were performed for a cut-off of ≥10 animals within a specific class (90th percentile), with a sensitivity analysis for ≥7 animals (67th percentile). A total of 416 (56.2%) participants recalled a series of ≥5 animals from a specific class, 245 (33.3%) participants recalled ≥7, 78 (10.6%) participants recalled ≥10, and 8 (1.1%) participants recalled ≥15. Those who recalled a series of at least 10 animals within a class were older, more often men, and more often retired than those who did not. Moreover, they had a higher total score on animal fluency, letter fluency (i.e., executive functioning), and episodic memory tasks compared to those who did not. Our results suggest that the benefit of abundant animal class knowledge gained by personal background does not disproportionally influence animal fluency performance as individuals with such knowledge also performed better on other cognitive tasks unrelated to abundant knowledge of animal classes.
