Introduction Older adults often show declines in phonological aspects of language
production, particularly for low‐frequency words, but maintain strong semantic systems …

The topological organization of the brain, governed by the capacity of brain regions to
synchronize their activity, allows for cost-effective performance during everyday cognitive …

Word-retrieval difficulties commonly occur in healthy aging. Recent studies report an
improved ability to name pictures after the administration of high-frequency repetitive …

Research regarding semantic knowledge of objects is often conducted independently in
children and adults. Review of these bodies of evidence suggests that the two literatures are …

Functional neuroimaging studies in healthy adults demonstrate involvement of a left-
lateralized network of frontal, temporal, and parietal regions during a variety of semantic …

Language has been extensively investigated by functional neuroimaging studies. However,
only a limited number of structural neuroimaging studies have examined the relationship …

Aims This study aimed to analyze the potential association between cognition reserve (CR)
components, including education, working activity, and leisure time activity, and cognitive …

Although older adults exhibit normal accuracy in performing word retrieval and generation
(lexical production; eg, object naming), they are generally slower in responding than …

In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, brain activations of correct and
erroneous picture naming responses were investigated in 34 healthy subjects using an …

This chapter focuses on the effects of aging on the process of language production from a
psycholinguistic, and neurolinguistic perspective. The first section of the chapter provides a …
