Abstract
Category fluency is a widely used task that relies on multiple neurocognitive processes and is a sensitive assay of cortical dysfunction including in schizophrenia The test requires naming of as many words belonging to a certain category e g animals as possible within a short period of time The core metrics are the overall number of words produced and the number of errors namely non members generated for a target category We combine a computational linguistic approach with a candidate gene approach to examine the genetic architecture of this traditional fluency measure
