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 …

The current study reports the effects of accumulating contextual constraints on neural indices
of lexico-semantic processing (ie, effects of word frequency and orthographic neighborhood) …

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 …

Abstract Effects of normal aging on the use of sentence context information during language
comprehension were examined by measuring younger and older adults' event‐related …

Age-related changes in sensory, lexical, and sentence processing were examined and
compared using event-related potentials (ERPs) recorded as young and elderly participants …

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 …

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

During sentence comprehension, older adults are less likely than younger adults to predict
features of likely upcoming words. A pair of experiments assessed whether such differences …

Background/Study Context: Older adults, especially those with reduced hearing acuity, can
make good use of linguistic context in word recognition. Less is known about the effects of …

Contextual information influences multiple aspects of language comprehension extended
over time. To determine how age‐related changes impact normal comprehension, effects of …
