Older adults tend to have a broader vocabulary compared to younger adults–indicating a
richer storage of semantic knowledge–but their retrieval abilities decline with age. Recent …

Aging is often associated with cognitive and neural decline, but how these factors interact is
still not fully understood. Recently, functional connectivity, or the degree to which brain …

As we age, language reflects patterns of both stability and change. On the one hand,
vocabulary and semantic abilities are largely stable across the adult lifespan, yet lexical …

Older adults typically exhibit decline in language production. However, how the brain
supports or fails to support these processes is unclear. Moreover, there are competing …

Neuroimaging studies often either look at functional activation in response to an explicit task,
or functional connectivity (ie, interregional correlations) during resting-state. Few studies …

Objective: Although language is often considered to be largely intact in multiple sclerosis
(MS), word-finding difficulties are a common complaint. Recent work suggests that declines …

Behavioral and brain-related changes in word production have been claimed to
predominantly occur after 70 years of age. Most studies investigating age-related changes in …

As people age, one of the most common complaints is difficulty with word retrieval. A wealth
of behavioral research confirms such age-related language production deficits, yet the …

We investigated how phonologically similar words are encoded and retrieved from memory
during sentence processing across younger and older adults. Critical sentences included …

Pseudowords are used as stimuli in many psycholinguistic experiments, yet they remain
largely under-researched. To better understand the cognitive processing of pseudowords …
