Finding the Words: How Does the Aging Brain Process Language? A Focused Review of Brain Connectivity and Compensatory Pathways

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.

Independent Effects of Age, Education, Verbal Working Memory, Motor Speed of Processing, Locality, and Morphosyntactic Category on Verb‐Related Morphosyntactic Production: Evidence From Healthy Aging

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

Charting New Paths in the Study of Kin Term Acquisition

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Kin terms appear among infants’ earliest words, yet a full mastery of kin concepts typically emerges only in late childhood. This prolonged developmental trajectory reflects not only children's acquisition of an abstract relational system of words, but also their growing understanding of social relationships and interactional norms.

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

Limits to Language Prediction: Findings From Diverse Populations

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract For a model in cognitive science to adequately explain cognitive processes across different populations, empirical findings from diverse participant groups are essential. This paper selectively reviews studies that investigated prediction in different populations and discusses what they reveal about the mechanisms and role of language ...
