This experiment evaluated the relationship between verbal and nonverbal fluency measures commonly employed in neuropsychological assessment. Three fluency measures, the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, the Design Fluency Test, and the Ruff Figural Fluency Test, were administered to a sample of 61 men and 73 women in college. Analyses indicated that scores on the Controlled Oral Word Association Test were significantly correlated with scores on the Fixed but not the Free Condition of the Design Fluency Test. Scores on the Ruff test were significantly more closely correlated with the Fixed versus the Free Condition, although they were also correlated with the total scores on the Design Fluency Test. Differential correlations are discussed in terms of the varying structure inherent in the measures of fluency and their presumed taxing of frontally mediated executive processes.
本实验评估了神经心理学评估中常用的言语流畅性和非言语流畅性测量之间的关系。对61名男性和73名女性大学生样本进行了三项流畅性测量，即受控口头词语联想测验、设计流畅性测验和鲁夫图形流畅性测验。分析表明，受控口头词语联想测验的分数与设计流畅性测验固定条件而非自由条件下的分数显著相关。鲁夫测验的分数与固定条件和自由条件的相关性显著更高，尽管它们也与设计流畅性测验的总分相关。根据流畅性测量中固有的不同结构及其对额叶介导的执行过程的假定负担，讨论了差异相关性。
