Description

We investigated the contribution of linguistic and executive control processes in verbal fluency performance for Bengali-English bilinguals with aphasia and bilingual healthy controls. We collected verbal fluency data, executive control data and linguistic background measures to characterize each participant. This dataset contains the verbal fluency data from 8 Bengali-English bilinguals with aphasia and 8 bilingual healthy controls. The data from the verbal fluency task was collected using audio recorder, later transcribed orthographically. Demographic information and linguistic background measures were collected using paper and pen tasks. Executive control tasks were assessed using paper and pencil task, and/or computer-based tasks. The computer tasks were programmed and delivered using E-Prime.

These data could be used by future researchers to answer their specific questions regarding the lexical and cognitive underpinnings of verbal fluency performance in bilinguals with aphasia population.
