Sounds, Words, Sentences: age-related changes across levels of language processing
Article Abstract:
Age-related changes in sensory, lexical, and sentence processing were examined and compared using event-related potentials among young and elderly participants. There were no differences in the size, timing, or distribution of lexical associative effects for the two groups. The results support models that posit age-related changes primarily in higher order language processes.
