Perseverative Behavior on Verbal Fluency Task in Patients with Huntington's Disease: a Retrospective Study on a Large Patient Sample.

Conclusions: Verbal perseverations are frequent in HD patients and are likely related with impairments of attentional switching and working memory, hampering tracking of verbal responses already produced. Perseverative behavior may serve as a useful clinical marker of cognitive and functional impairment in patients with HD. PMID: 31813981 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
