Age-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes in the context of task-irrelevant information
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-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes
Abstract Changes in language functions during normal aging are greater for phonological
compared with semantic processes. To investigate the behavioral and neural basis for these …

Neural evidence for phonologically based language production deficits in older adults: an fMRI investigation of age‐related differences in picture‐word interference
Introduction Older adults often show declines in phonological aspects of language
production, particularly for low‐frequency words, but maintain strong semantic systems …

Differences between patterns of brain activity associated with semantics and those linked with phonological processing diminish with age
R Martins, F Simard, O Monchi - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
It is widely believed that language function tends to show little age-related performance
decline. Indeed, some older individuals seem to use compensatory mechanisms to maintain …

Age-related differences in resolving semantic and phonological competition during receptive language tasks
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 …

The effect of aging on the neural correlates of phonological word retrieval
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Neural sensitivity to phonological characteristics is stable across the lifespan
Aging is often associated with declines in language production. For example, compared to
younger adults, older adults experience more tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) states, show …

Lexical frequency affects functional activation and accuracy in picture naming among older and younger adults.
As individuals age, they experience increased difficulties producing speech, especially with
infrequent words. Older adults report that word retrieval difficulties frequently occur and are …

Impact of changed positive and negative task-related brain activity on word-retrieval in aging
Previous functional imaging studies that compared activity patterns in older and younger
adults during nonlinguistic tasks found evidence for 2 phenomena: older participants usually …
