Healthy Aging and Compensation of Sentence Comprehension Auditory Deficits
OBJECTIVES To analyze the effect of aging on sentence auditory comprehension and to study the relationship between this language skill and cognitive functions (attention, working memory, and executive functions). METHODS A total of 90 healthy subjects were divided into three groups: adults (50-59 years), young-old (60-69 years), and old-old (70-80 years). Subjects were assessed using the Revi...
متن کاملEffects of hypertension and diabetes on sentence comprehension in aging.
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of hypertension and diabetes mellitus on sentence comprehension in older adults. METHOD Two hundred and ninety-five adults aged 55 to 84 (52% men) participated in this study. Self-report mail survey combined with medical evaluations were used to determine eligibility. Multiple sources were used to determine whether hypertension and diabetes were present or abse...
متن کاملSegregating early physical and syntactic processes in auditory sentence comprehension.
Auditory language comprehension involves physical as well as syntactic processing. The present study examined whether early physical and syntactic processes in spoken sentence comprehension can be segregated using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). In the physical manipulation condition, the terminal word of the sentence was presented either from the same or from a different location to the...
متن کاملObject individuation and compensation in healthy aging.
Theories on neural compensation suggest that aged participants overactivate the brain areas involved in a task to compensate for the age-related decline. In this electrophysiological study, we investigated the temporal locus of neural overactivation in aging during multiple target processing. We measured performance and three event-related brain potential responses (N1, N2pc, and contralateral ...
متن کاملNeural basis for sentence comprehension deficits in frontotemporal dementia.
Many patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have impaired sentence comprehension. However, the pattern of comprehension difficulty appears to vary depending on the clinical subgroup. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the neural basis for these deficits in FTD. We studied patients with two different presentations: Three patients with Progressive Non-Fluent Ahasia (PNFA), and five n...
