The multifaceted nature of language across adulthood
This article is the introduction to a special issue, Aging Brain & Language.
Aging is often associated with cognitive and neural decline, and such changes can have significant social, financial, and societal costs. Moreover, older adults represent the largest growing segment of the population, so understanding the cognitive and neural changes associated with aging has broad impact (Ortman et al., 2014). While there is a rich behavioral literature on aging and age-related changes in cognition (e.g., Salthouse, 2010), we are still beginning to understand how aging influences the brain and how we may be able to mitigate the influence of aging on the brain and cognition. Moreover, although aging, can be associated with decline, there is considerable variability in trajectories and outcomes both across individuals and across cognitive domains.
This special issue highlights several factors that influence age-related differences in language processing.
