Verbal fluency and semantic association deficits in children with in birth nonprogressive neuromuscular diseases by Maria Koriakina, Maria Koriakina, Olga E. Agranovich, Ioannis Ntoumanis, Maxim Ulanov, Isak B. Blank, Anna Shestakova, Evgeny Blagovechtchenski

“…Interestingly, MD children with unilateral limb impairment outperformed those with bilateral impairment on semantic association tasks.DiscussionThese results suggest that the cognitive deficits observed in children with motor impairments can be attributed to less engagement with their physical environment, which influences their ability to perceive and manipulate objects differently based on their level of impairment. Additionally, the findings underscore how social and cultural contexts may be affected by motor impairments. …”
