Age-related differences in resolving semantic and phonological competition during receptive language tasks.
(Neuropsychologia, 2016-12)Receptive language (e.g., reading) is largely preserved in the aging brain, and semantic processes in particular may continue to develop throughout the lifespan. We investigated the neural underpinnings of phonological and ... -
Age-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes in the context of task-irrelevant information.
(Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience, 2019-08)As we age we have increasing difficulty with phonological aspects of language production. Yet semantic processes are largely stable across the life span. This suggests a fundamental difference in the cognitive and potentially ... -
Age-related differences in the neural bases of phonological and semantic processes.
(Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2014-12)Changes in language functions during normal aging are greater for phonological compared with semantic processes. To investigate the behavioral and neural basis for these age-related differences, we used fMRI to examine younger ... -
Auditory-Perceptual Speech Features in Children With Down Syndrome.
(American journal on intellectual and developmental disabilities, 2019-07)Speech disorders occur commonly in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), although data regarding the auditory-perceptual speech features are limited. This descriptive study assessed 47 perceptual speech features during connected ... -
Influence of encoding difficulty, word frequency, and phonological regularity on age differences in word naming.
(Experimental aging research, 2011-05)It is presently unclear as to why older adults take longer than younger adults to recognize visually presented words. To examine this issue in more detail, the authors conducted two word-naming studies (Experiment 1: 20 ... -
Phonemic fluency and brain connectivity in age-related macular degeneration: a pilot study.
(Brain connectivity, 2015-03)Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in developed nations, has been associated with poor performance on tests of phonemic fluency. This pilot study sought to (1) characterize the relationship ... -
The abstraction of form in semantic categories.
(Mem Cognit, 1991-01)Undergraduates were asked to generate a name for a hypothetical new exemplar of a category. They produced names that had the same numbers of syllables, the same endings, and the same types of word stems as existing exemplars ...
