“…In conclusion, these norms are expected to be a valuable tool in many cognitive areas such as psycholinguistics (e.g., [ 22 , 26 , 28 ]), memory (e.g., [ 90 ]), face processing (e.g., [ 36 – 39 ]), healthy and pathological aging [ 20 , 29 – 33 , 91 , 92 ], or studies about emotion [ 48 , 93 ]. In spite of the usefulness of this type of norms in a wide range of areas, we must notice a series of limitations of the specific set of celebrities produced in each normative study.…”

A normative study for photographs of celebrities in Spain

Research on familiar faces has recurrently been conducted in different domains, such as, psycholinguistics, memory, attention, face processing, aging studies, etc. In general, photographs of celebrities, their proper names, or their occupations have been the materials mainly employed in those types of studies. These stimuli are, however, very constrained by the geographic and sociocultural contexts in which the studies are conducted, and, in spite of their relevance for psychological research, there are no normative studies for celebrities in Spain. With the aim of filling this gap, the photographs and names of the 118 most frequently produced celebrities in Spain were collected. For each celebrity, values for 13 different indices (including psycholinguistic properties, naming times, and emotional indicators) were obtained from a young adult Spanish sample. Regression analyses on the data indicated that the main determinant in naming times and ToTs was the percentage of correct responses. Face agreement was also a significant predictor of ToTs. Results were compared with previous celebrity norms in other languages, and discussed in relation to the current models of face processing. These norms are likely to make a useful contribution to the design of more controlled research and applied tools in Psychology.

“…En los estudios experimentales, se ha analizado la relación del nivel de vocabulario en el DCL con los cambios en la capacidad de acceso al léxico, medidos a través del paradigma experimental del fenómeno punta de la lengua (Juncos-Rabadán, Facal, Rodríguez, Juncos-Rabadán, & Facal, 2008). Se ha encontrado que el mayor nivel de vocabulario en el DCL es un factor protector que contribuye a mejorar el acceso a los nombres comunes pero que no tiene efecto en el acceso a los nombres propios (Juncos-Rabadán, Rodríguez, Facal, Cuba, & Pereiro, 2011).…”

Resumen: El presente trabajo estudia el papel del vocabulario, como indicador de reserva cognitiva, en la evaluación del Deterioro Cognitivo Ligero (DCL). Participaron 326 adultos mayores de 50 años, clasificados en dos grupos, uno de 104 participantes con DCL y otro de 222 controles sanos. Se analizaron las diferencias en las puntuaciones obtenidas en distintos indicadores de reserva cognitiva, entre ellos, las puntuaciones en el subtest de vocabulario WAIS y la prueba de vocabulario de imágenes Peabody. Para analizar el efecto de estos indicadores en la prevalencia del DCL se llevó a cabo un análisis de regresión logística. Los resultados indicaron que el grupo con DCL obtuvo puntuaciones significativamente menores que los controles en las tareas de vocabulario y en los hábitos de lectura. Las bajas puntuaciones en las pruebas de vocabulario fueron las medidas de reserva cognitiva que mejor predicen el riesgo de DCL. Teniendo en cuenta los resultados, el buen nivel de vocabulario parece contribuir a aumentar la reserva cognitiva como un indicador protector frente al deterioro cognitivo.

Abstract: This paper studies the role of vocabulary as an indicator of cognitive reserve in the evaluation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Three hundred twenty-six participants over 50 years old were classified into two groups, one of 104 patients with MCI and other of 222 healthy controls. We analyzed differences in the scores on different indicators of cognitive reserve, including scores on the WAIS vocabulary subtest and the vocabulary test Peabody. To analyze the effect of these indicators in the prevalence of MCI a logistic regression analysis was carried out. The results indicated that the MCI group had significantly lower scores than the controls in tasks of vocabulary and in reading habits. The low scores on vocabulary tests were the cognitive reserve measures that best predicted the risk of MCI. The high level of vocabulary seems to help the increasing of cognitive reserve as an indicator protective against cognitive decline.

“…Group differences were maintained despite the statistical control for age and level of vocabulary, suggesting no longitudinal influence of the vocabulary on ToTs as indicated in previous cross-sectional studies with cognitively unimpaired old adults (Facal et al, 2012;Salthouse and Mendell, 2013;Shafto et al, 2017). Thus, phonological access seems to be an early lexical marker of post-semantic impairment in the cognitive continuum from SCC to MCI (Juncos-Rabadán et al, 2011. However, slopes did not change across the follow-ups, and group differences in either phonological or semantic measures of lexical access thus remained stable.…”

“…of the celebrity), in order to maximize the probability of ToT states. The ToT procedure included in the CompAS has been described in detail in a previous study (Juncos-Rabadán et al, 2011). In brief, the ToT procedure consisted of three tasks: (i) a naming task; (ii) a task to determine whether the ToTs were positive (when the name on the ToT was indeed the correct name) or negative (when the name on the ToT was not the target name); and (iii) a familiarity task, to assess the subjective degree of knowledge that each participant declared having about each celebrity depicted in the photographs (see Figure 1).…”

Longitudinal Patterns of the Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon in People With Subjective Cognitive Complaints and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Background: The Tip-of-the-Tongue (ToTs) state is considered a universal phenomenon and is a frequent cognitive complaint in old age. Previous cross-sectional studies have found that ToT measures successfully discriminate between cognitively unimpaired adults and adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to identify longitudinal patterns of ToTs in individuals with subjective complaints and with MCI regarding progress of their cognitive status. Method: The study included 193 participants with subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) and 56 participants with MCI who completed a baseline and two followup assessments, with an interval of about 18 months between each assessment. Participants were classified into three groups by considering cognitive stability or deterioration from the baseline diagnosis: SCC-stable, MCI-stable and MCI-worsened. Participants performed a ToT task involving recognition and naming of famous people depicted in 50 photographs. Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) were used to model longitudinal changes in familiarity, feeling of knowing, semantic access, phonological access and verbal fluency. Results: Phonological access differentiated MCI patients, stable and worsened, from adults with SCCs at all evaluation times. Phonological access declined over time in the three groups, without significant interactions between groups and time. Discussion: This study provides the first longitudinal evidence of differences in ToT measures for adults with MCI. The findings indicate that phonological access measures successfully differentiated between the diagnostic groups. However, slopes remain irrespective of the diagnostic group and progression toward more advance stages of cognitive impairment.
