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

Speech comprehension abilities decline with age and with age-related hearing loss, but it is
unclear how this decline expresses in terms of central neural mechanisms. The current study …

Healthy ageing leads to changes in the brain that impact upon sensory and cognitive
processing. It is not fully clear how these changes affect the processing of everyday spoken …

Human aging brings with it declines in sensory function, both in vision and in hearing, as
well as a general slowing in a variety of perceptual and cognitive operations. Yet in spite of …

Hearing loss is one of the most common complaints in adults over the age of 60 and a major
contributor to difficulties in speech comprehension. To examine the effects of hearing ability …

Sentence comprehension declines with age, but the neural basis for this change is unclear.
We monitored regional brain activity in 13 younger subjects and 11 healthy seniors matched …

Brain function is thought to become less specialized with age. However, this view is largely
based on findings of increased activation during tasks that fail to separate task-related …

In spite of the rapidity of everyday speech, older adults tend to keep up relatively well in day-
to-day listening. In laboratory settings older adults do not respond as quickly as younger …

Normal aging brings increased richness in knowledge and experience as well as declines in
cognitive abilities. Event‐related brain potential (ERP) studies of language comprehension …

This study was designed to determine effects of aging on comprehension of complex
sentences. In particular, we were interested in whether normal aging modifies a subsystem …
