- Methodological Criteria for Scoring Clustering and Switching in Verbal Fluency Tasks Natália Becker Jerusa Fumagalli de Salles Psicología switching clustering Semantic verbal fluency phonemic verbal fluency The objective of this study was to describe an adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the methodological criteria for analysis of clustering and switching in semantic verbal fluency (SVF) and phonemic verbal fluency (PVF) tasks. The adaptation process consisted of six steps, including the selection of the clustering and switching variables based on data from a sample of 419 children and the analysis of inter-rater reliability (six raters). The following variables were scored: the total number of words generated the raw number of clusters , the mean cluster size, and the raw number of switches . There was a significant associa - tion between raters (intra-class correlation coefficients between 0.95 and 0.99), showing that the analytical method was reliable. Our study provides an evaluation of SVF and PVF tasks that goes beyond the overall score, making it possible to investigate the cognitive processes underlying this neuropsychological function. 2016 artículo científico 1413-8271 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401048911002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4010 Psico-USF application/pdf Universidade São Francisco Psico-USF (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.21
