Effective use of conceptual knowledge engages semantic representation and control
processes to access information in a goal-driven manner. Neuropsychological findings of …

Aging is often associated with a decrease in cognitive capacities. However, semantic
memory appears relatively well preserved in healthy aging. Both behavioral and …

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

Semantic cognition refers to the storage and appropriate use of knowledge acquired over
the lifespan and underpins our everyday verbal and non-verbal behaviours. Successful …

Successful use of conceptual knowledge entails the assembling of semantic representations
and control processes to access the subsets of knowledge relevant in each situation …

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 …

The role of semantic features, which are distinctive (eg, a zebra's stripes) or shared (eg has
four legs) for accessing a concept, has been studied in detail in early neurodegenerative …

The extent to which the neural systems underlying semantic processes degrade with
advanced age remains unresolved, which motivated the current study of neural activation on …

Ageing provides an interesting window into semantic cognition: while younger adults
generally outperform older adults on many cognitive tasks, knowledge continues to …

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 …
