Abstract
The study examined the impact of cross-linguistic and cultural differences on animal fluency tasks between Korean- and English-speaking persons with aphasia and healthy older adults. We analyzed the impact of zodiac animals as a potential factor eliciting cultural and linguistic differences when they were asked to generate animals. Korean speakers, both with and without aphasia, produced a greater proportion of zodiac animals compared to English speakers. Conversely, English speakers demonstrated greater semantic diversity in animal responses than Korean speakers. These findings suggest that animal fluency may serve as a method to reveal cross-linguistic and cultural differences in aphasia.
