With aging, the brain undergoes a series of deleterious changes, including grey and white
matter atrophy, synaptic degeneration and neurochemical alterations (Cabeza, 2001). Given …

Age differences in the representation of semantic information may underlie the cognitive
decline observed in aging. The objective of the present study was to determine to what …

Purpose The study examined age-related differences in the use of semantic context and in
the effect of semantic competition in spoken sentence processing. We used offline (response …

Although some evidence is consistent with the notion that distinct cortical systems support
memory and perception, mounting evidence supports a representational-hierarchical view of …

What effects will aging have on the performance of analytic versus holistic tasks? Will these
effects differ across cultures? Given that many of the basic cognitive processes implicated in …

Objective: The present study explored two types of semantic relationships in semantic
dementia (SD), that rely on functionally and neuroanatomically distinct semantic systems …

We examined performance in young and elderly on an implicit (lexical decision) and an
explicit (recognition) memory test. The difference in lexical decision times between old and …

While the intervention of the sensorimotor system in semantic processing has already been
demonstrated in young adults and more recently in children, very few studies have …

Embodied approach postulates that knowledge and conceptual representations are
grounded in action and perception. In order to investigate the involvement of sensorimotor …
