Receptive language (eg, reading) is largely preserved in the aging brain, and semantic
processes in particular may continue to develop throughout the lifespan. We investigated the …

Research on language and aging typically shows that language comprehension is
preserved across the life span. Recent neuroimaging results suggest that this good …

As we age we have increasing difficulty with phonological aspects of language production.
Yet semantic processes are largely stable across the life span. This suggests a fundamental …

Age has a differential effect on cognition, with word retrieval being one of the cognitive
domains most affected by aging. This study examined the functional and structural neural …

To examine changes in semantic memory organization and use during aging, we recorded
event-related potentials as younger and older adults listened to sentences ending with the …

Normal aging during adulthood is associated with general declines in a number of cognitive
functions, for example, episodic memory, working memory, and attention, and there is …

Although healthy aging is generally characterized by declines in both brain structure and
function, there is variability in the extent to which these changes result in observable …

Normal aging has variable effects on language comprehension, perhaps because
comprehension mechanisms vary in their dependence on network structure versus network …

Growing evidence from the neuroscience of aging suggests that executive function plays a
pivotal role in maintaining semantic processing performance. However, the presumed age …

Speech comprehension remains largely preserved in older adults despite significant age-
related neurophysiological change. However, older adults' performance declines more …
