Abstract
Purpose: To examine the relationship between scores on the Generative Semantic Naming Subtests of the EFA-4 and the MoCA in persons with memory and/or communication difficulty. Methods: Six adults with varying diagnoses of memory and/or communication difficulty were included. The entire Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the four Generative Semantic Naming Subtests of the EFA-4 (Examining for Aphasia- 4) were administered. Scores were correlated using Pearson r Correlational Analyses. Results: We found strong, positive correlations between the MoCA and overall EFA-4 raw scores and also between the MoCA and each individual subtest. These correlations confirm that there is a predictable relationship in performance on these two tests. Conclusions: Strong, positive correlations in performance indicates a predictable relationship in performance on the MoCA and EFA-4. The correlations also demonstrate a relationship between lexical-semantic processing and cognitive decline. The degree or severity of dementia, as measured by MoCA scores, affects word retrieval and naming in a predictable manner.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
