Background: Older adults process speech differently, but it is not yet clear how aging affects
different levels of processing natural, continuous speech, both in terms of bottom-up acoustic …

The relationship between structural and functional brain networks has been characterised
as complex: the two networks mirror each other and show mutual influence but they also …

Compensation has long been recognized as a cornerstone of successful late-life
development, figuring prominently in behavioral research and theory on cognitive aging …

Purpose When speakers retrieve words, they do so extremely quickly and accurately—both
speed and accuracy of word retrieval are compromised in persons with aphasia (PWA). This …

Abstract Language processing relies on a left-lateralized fronto-temporal brain network. How
this network emerges ontogenetically remains debated. We asked whether frontal language …

Older adults typically show decline in a variety of cognitive functions including inhibitory
control and language production, with corresponding age-related increases in fMRI …

Objective: In this article, we reexamine the hypothesis of language retrogenesis, that is, the
assumption that language change over healthy ageing mirrors, albeit inversely, language …

Researchers have frequently reported an age-related decline in semantic processing during
sentence comprehension. However, it remains unclear whether syntactic processing also …

Older adults typically exhibit decline in language production. However, how the brain
supports or fails to support these processes is unclear. Moreover, there are competing …

Aging has traditionally been related to impairments in name retrieval. These impairments
have usually been explained by a phonological transmission deficit hypothesis or by an …
