There has been an upsurge of interest in the aging process as it affects cognition. Most research attention has been focused on memory and relatively little has been focused on language in the elderly. This volume addresses both the research on language in old age relevant to memory, and memory research relevant to language in old age. The authors draw on a range of methodologies and compare young and older adults (both normal and demented). Representing the major perspectives in contemporary cognition theory, they raise such current issues as the role of awareness in memory and language, the relation between semantic and episodic memory, the distinction between automatic and attentional processes, and the usefulness of distinguishing among levels of processing. The book will be welcomed not only as an invaluable overview for cognitive and developmental psychologists, neuropsychologists and psycholinguists but also as a supplementary text for graduate students in cognitive science and gerontology.

Age-related changes in cognitive and language functions have been extensively researched over the past half-century. The older adult represents a unique population for studying cognition and language because of the many challenges that are presented with investigating this population, including individual differences in education, life experiences, health issues, social identity, as well as gender. The purpose of this book is to provide an advanced text that considers these unique challenges and assembles in one source current information regarding (a) language in the aging population and (b) current theories accounting for age-related changes in language function. A thoughtful and comprehensive review of current research spanning different disciplines that study aging will achieve this purpose. Such disciplines include linguistics, psychology, sociolinguistics, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, and communication sciences.

La 4ème de couverture indique : "Les professionnels et futurs professionnels du langage trouveront dans cet ouvrage des informations précises, fondées sur des recherches récentes en psycholinguistique et neurosciences cognitives afin de les aider à distinguer les troubles du langage des atypies langagières. Ces atypies constituent des comportements langagiers ambigus, que les chercheurs et praticiens peinent à catégoriser comme comportement normal ou pathologique. Que ce soit chez les enfants dont le langage est en cours de développement, chez les adultes souffrant de troubles consécutifs à une atteinte neurologique ou encore chez les personnes âgées, il est indispensable de savoir analyser ces atypies car elles oscillent entre particularité individuelle et trouble installé. Ainsi, savoir les repérer et les caractériser permettra de mieux appréhender le normal, le pathologique et le basculement vers le pathologique, mais aussi d'effectuer un diagnostic plus précis des troubles langagiers et de leur origine pour une prise en charge précoce plus efficace des patients. Cette caractérisation de l'atypie doit prendre en considération l'hétérogénéité des individus aux environnements et comportements langagiers, sociaux et culturels très variés. Cet ouvrage vise donc à donner aux praticiens, chercheurs et étudiants des repères et éléments de réflexion sur la notion d'atypie langagière sous un éclairage interdisciplinaire."

Why language ability remains resilient and how it shapes our lives. We acquire our native language, seemingly without effort, in infancy and early childhood. Language is our constant companion throughout our lifetime, even as we age. Indeed, compared with other aspects of cognition, language seems to be fairly resilient through the process of aging. In Changing Minds, Roger Kreuz and Richard Roberts examine how aging affects language—and how language affects aging. Kreuz and Roberts report that what appear to be changes in an older person's language ability are actually produced by declines in such other cognitive processes as memory and perception. Some language abilities, including vocabulary size and writing ability, may even improve with age. And certain language activities—including reading fiction and engaging in conversation—may even help us live fuller and healthier lives. Kreuz and Roberts explain the cognitive processes underlying our language ability, exploring in particular how changes in these processes lead to changes in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They consider, among other things, the inability to produce a word that's on the tip of your tongue—and suggest that the increasing incidence of this with age may be the result of a surfeit of world knowledge. For example, older people can be better storytellers, and (something to remember at a family reunion) their perceived tendency toward off-topic verbosity may actually reflect communicative goals.
