  "abstract": "Speech-based cognitive monitoring for Alzheimers employs various tasks, but whether timing measures transfer across tasks is unclear. Twelve senior living residents completed four 60-second tasks: category fluency, two picture descriptions, and a self-generated narrative. Speech timing measures were calculated identically across tasks. Speech-rate correspondence among picture descriptions and narrative was substantial (mean {rho} = 0.72). Correspondence with category fluency increased from Cookie Theft to contemporary picture to narrative in terms of speech rate ({rho} = 0.36, 0.51, 0.64) and pause time ratio ({rho} = 0.14, 0.45, 0.71). Measures were not interchangeable; correspondence followed an ordering consistent with shared retrieval demand.",
