Abstract：
This review targets the application of the Verbal Fluency Task (VFT) in conjunction with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for diagnosing psychiatric disorders, specifically in the contexts of China and Japan. These two countries are at the forefront of integrating fNIRS with VFT in clinical psychiatry, often employing this combination as a complementary tool alongside traditional psychiatric examinations. Our study aims to synthesize research findings on the hemodynamic responses elicited by VFT task in clinical settings of the two countries, analyzing variations in task design (phonological versus semantic), stimulus modality (auditory versus visual), and the impact of language typology. The focus on China and Japan is crucial, as it provides insights into the unique applications and adaptations of VFT in these linguistically and culturally distinct environments. By exploring these specific cases, our review underscores the importance of tailoring VFT to fit the linguistic and cultural context, thereby enhancing its validity and utility in cross-cultural psychiatric assessments.
摘要：
这篇综述旨在将言语流利度任务（VFT）与功能近红外光谱（fNIRS）结合用于诊断精神疾病，特别是在中国和日本的背景下。这两个国家在将fNIRS与VFT整合到临床精神病学中处于最前沿，经常使用这种组合作为传统精神病学检查的补充工具。我们的研究旨在综合两国临床环境中VFT任务引起的血液动力学反应的研究结果，分析任务设计中的变化(语音与语义)，刺激模态(听觉与视觉)，以及语言类型学的影响。对中国和日本的关注至关重要,因为它提供了对VFT在这些语言和文化上不同的环境中的独特应用和适应的见解。通过探索这些具体案例，我们的评论强调了定制VFT以适应语言和文化背景的重要性，从而提高其在跨文化精神病学评估中的有效性和实用性。
