The Thurstone Word Fluency Test, also known as the Chicago Word Fluency Test (CWFT),〔Kolb, Bryan, and Ian Q. Whishaw. ''Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology.'' New York: Worth, 2008. ISBN 978-0-7167-9586-5 p.443 ()〕 was developed by Louis Thurstone in 1938.〔Thurstone, LL and Thurstone, TG. ''Primary Mental Abilities'' Chicago, Univ. of Chicago Press ,1938 OCLC 741860993〕 This test became the first word fluency psychometrically measured test available to patients with brain damage. 〔 Spreen, O., & Risser, A. (2003). Assessment of aphasia. Oxford: Oxford University Press.()〕 The test is a used to measure an individual's symbolic verbal fluency.〔Pendleton, Mark G. et al. ''Journal of Clinical Neuropsychology'', Vol 4(4), (Dec 1982), 307-317. 〕〔Leslie A. Burton, Debra Henninger & Jessica Hafetz "Gender Differences in Relations of Mental Rotation, Verbal Fluency, and SAT Scores to Finger Length Ratios as Hormonal Indexes" ''Developmental Neuropsychology'' 28(1), (2005) 〕〔S. L. Morrison-Stewarta1,et al. "Frontal and non-frontal lobe neuropsychological test performance and clinical symptomatology in schizophrenia ''Psychological Medicine'' (1992), 22: 353-359 doi 〕 The test asks the subject to write as many words as possible beginning with the letter 'S' within a 5 minute limit, then as many words as possible beginning with letter 'C' within 4 minute limit. The total number of 'S' and 'C' words produced, minus the number of rule-breaking and perseverative responses, yield the patients’ measure of verbal fluency. The CWFT is used as one of the measures of brain's frontal lobe function. A related test, the COWAT (Controlled oral word association test), is part of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery. ==See also== * Verbal fluency test 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thurstone Word Fluency Test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
