Semantic cognition is central to understanding of language and the world and, unlike many
cognitive domains, is thought to show little age-related decline. We investigated age-related …

Aging is associated with functional activation changes in domain-specific regions and large-
scale brain networks. This preregistered Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Aging is characterized by a decline of cognitive control. In semantic cognition, this leads to
the paradox that older adults usually show poorer task performance than young adults …

Semantic memory recruits an extensive neural network including the left inferior prefrontal
cortex (IPC) and the left temporoparietal region, which are involved in semantic control …

Our ability to form abstract representations of objects in semantic memory is crucial to
language and thought. The utility of this information relies both on the representations of …

Semantic deficits are common in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). These deficits
notably impact the ability to understand words. In healthy aging, semantic knowledge …

Human behavioral data indicate that older adults are slower to perform lexical decisions
(LDs) than young adults but show similar reaction time gains when these decisions are …

Semantic cognition refers to the appropriate use of acquired knowledge about the world.
This requires representation of knowledge as well as control processes which ensure that …

Using data from the first wave of data collection in the Betula project, this research examined
semantic memory performance in adulthood and old age (N= 1000). The Betula project is a …

Computational research suggests that semantic memory, operationalized as semantic
memory networks, undergoes age-related changes. Previous work suggests that concepts in …
