Cognitive flexibility and semantic and phonetic word fluency in PCS, non-PCS and HC individuals. (a) Shown are the z-scores in “phonetic word fluency” as well as in (b) the subtest “categories” and (c) subtest “semantic fluency” using the RWT. Data were tested for significance using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by multiple comparisons adjusted with the two-stage linear step-up procedure by Benjamini, Krieger, and Yekutieli (BKY). The significance level was set at q < 0.05. PCS post-Covid syndrome, non-PCS non-Post-Covid syndrome, HC healthy control, SD standard deviation, RWT Regensburg Word Fluency Test.
