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 …

A visual Simon task was used to study the influence of aging on visuospatial attention and
inhibitory control processes. Responses were much slower for elderly than for young …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) and reaction times (RTs) were used to study how the
processing of sentences with morphosyntactic violations is constrained by working memory …

While behavioral studies have documented delayed language acquisition in blind children,
other studies have revealed better speech discrimination abilities for blind than sighted …

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

Prior research has indicated that readers and listeners can use information in the prior
discourse to rapidly predict specific upcoming words, as the text is unfolding. Here we used …

We report three correlation studies, which investigate the hypothesis that individual
differences in the capacity of a semantic short-term memory (STM) component in working …

Neurodegenerative changes of the basal ganglia in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD)
lead to motor deficits as well as general cognitive decline. Given these impairments, the …

Human language is what it is because of its function and its implementation. We are far from
understanding how language comprehension is carried out by the human brain. This task …

This series of three event-related potential experiments explored the issue of whether the
underlying mechanism of working memory (WM) supporting language processing is …
