Table 3.
Percentage of individuals within the PPA subgroups and the PPAOS group who scored more than 1.5 SDs below published normative data means for letter (M = 12.87, SD = 3.99), category (M = 18.05, SD = 4.81), and verb/action (M = 14.35, SD = 4.06).
PPA/PPAOS groups | Word fluency tests |

---|---|---|---|
Letter | Category | Verb/action | |
lvPPA (N = 57) | 67% | 65% | 51% |
svPPA (N = 15) | 53% | 60% | 27% |
nfPPA (N = 34) | 62% | 41% | 59% |
PPAOS (N = 30) | 40% | 23% | 10% |
All groups (N = 136) | 58% | 49% | 41% |
Note. Normative data means for letter and animal fluency in normal subjects based on Gladsjo et al. (1999), data for age 50 years + and education 12–15 years. Normative data means for action fluency in normal subjects based on Piatt et al. (2004), data for age 50 years + and education 12–15 years. PPAOS = primary progressive apraxia of speech; lvPPA = logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia; svPPA = semantic variant primary progressive aphasia; nfPPA = nonfluent/agrammatic with or without apraxia of speech.
