Neuropsychological tests involving word generation are
very commonly applied in patients with brain disease. In
this work we present, for the first time, an fMRI study
of a written version of the phonemic fluency task that
can reliably reproduce all the previously reported
activation. AS additional validation we also show that
the cerebellar activation foci associated with the
written phonemic fluency task which is agree with
previously reported lesion analysis results.
