  • Speech-language pathology services for acquired communication disorders among indigenous peoples

    Open AccessAmélie Sanfaçon-Verret, Eniko Neashish et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2026

    Indigenous adults experience higher rates of neurological incidents than non-Indigenous populations, increasing their risk of acquired communication disorders (ACD). However, access to culturally safe speech-language pathology (SLP) services in their language remains challenging. This review explored issues raised in the literature concerning SLP services for Indigenous adults with ACD globally. More specifically, it explored Indigenous adults wi…

  • Contextual diversity and picture naming

    Open AccessMikayla Trudeau-Meisner, Brendan T Johns et al.ARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2025

    Word frequency has long been considered an essential aspect of psycholinguistic theory. However, research has shown that measures of contextual and semantic diversity provide a better fit to lexical decision and naming data than word frequency. The current study examines the role of contextual and semantic diversity in picture naming ability across aging and bilingualism. A picture naming experiment was conducted with six groups of participants: …

  • Recovery from university grade inflation after the Covid-19 pandemic varies by faculty

    Victor Kuperman, Esther Geva et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2025

    Recovery from university grade inflation after the COVID-19 pandemic varies by faculty Higher education institutions worldwide report a drastic increase in grades during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since it was not paralleled by an increase in student achievements, the consensus is that the pandemic came with grade inflation, which exceeded the systematic multiannual trends of grade inflation. The present paper adds two novel aspects to this body of r…

  • Correlates of SuperAging in Two Population-Based Samples of Hispanic Older Adults

    Open AccessCassidy Doyle, Ross Andel et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 7

    Increasing access to education and recognizing/treating depressive symptoms represent potential pathways to preserve episodic memory among older Hispanic adults

  • Educational Attainment Moderates Task-State Control Network Connectivity Relations to Response Conflict Among Healthy Older Adults

    Open AccessMarco Pipoly, Hyunkyu Lee et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 3

    For the first time, we show that educational attainment moderates the relationship between task-state SN-FC and executive function among older adults

  • Adult Physical Function Has Roots in Early Childhood Brain Function

    Open AccessJianzhen Xie, Avshalom Caspi et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 1

    Children with poorer brain function were more likely to have poorer physical-function scores as adults. In addition to indicating recent musculoskeletal decline, physical-function tests may also provide indications of lifelong, integrated brain-body health. By reconceptualizing the meaning of physical-function scores, clinicians can orient the use of physical-function tests in a more holistic approach to health care

  • The Effects of Computerized Cognitive Training in Older Adults’ Cognitive Performance and Biomarkers of Structural Brain Aging

    Open AccessHyunkyu Lee, Hyun Kyu Lee et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

  • Depression, Vascular Burden, and Dementia Prevalence in Late Middle-Aged and Older Black Adults

    Open AccessShellie‐Anne Levy, Maria Misiura et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 1

    Results suggest late-life depression and WMH have independent and joint relationships with dementia and that Black individuals may be particularly at risk due to these factors

  • Effects of Cognitive Inhibition Preceding Voluntary Step Responses to Visual Stimuli in Young and Older Adults

    Open AccessEunyoung Kwag, Dominic Bachmann et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024

    Overall, our results demonstrate that cognitive inhibition has more impact in older adults, the longer duration of CoP movements in older adults may reflect an ineffective step preparation. Our examination of the duration of subsequent phases which comprise perceptual processing and conflict resolution, response initiation, and step execution sheds light on how cognitive inhibition affects voluntary stepping behavior in young and older adults

  • Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Influencing the Association Between Generativity, the Desire to Promote Well-Being of Younger Generations, and Purpose in Life in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer’s Diseas…

    Open AccessCaitlin S Walker, Linda Li et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 8

    These findings provide insight into how the brain supports complex social behavior and, separately, purpose in life in at-risk aging. Affectionate social support may be a putative target process to enhance purpose in life in older adults. This knowledge contributes to future developments of personalized interventions that promote healthy aging

  • Life Events and Incident Dementia

    Open AccessSelin Karaköse, Martina Luchetti et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024Referencias: 4

    Severe illness, injury, or personal assault, marital separation or divorce, and financial hardships may raise risk of dementia, particularly when these events occur together

  • Age Deficits in Associative Memory Are Not Alleviated by Multisensory Paradigms

    Open AccessStephen P Badham, Christopher Atkin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024

    The lack of multimodal support for associative memory indicates that perceptual manipulations are less effective than other forms of environmental support at alleviating age deficits in associative memory

  • Prevalence and population attributable fractions of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia in Canada

    Open AccessYasaman Dolatshahi, Alexandra Mayhew et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Public Health2024Referencias: 23

We first demonstrate hi…

  • ERP differences between monolinguals and bilinguals

    Open AccessCassandra Morrison, Vanessa TalerARTICLEBilingualism Language and Cognition2023

    A growing body of research suggests that bilingualism may afford benefits to certain aspects of cognitive functioning. Inconsistent findings may arise because of methodological differences within and across studies. One limitation is that studies often compare linguistically similar languages. The present study recorded brain activity (event-related potentials; ERPs) while English monolinguals, English–French bilinguals, and Arabic–English biling…

  • Increased prevalence of loneliness and associated risk factors during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessSusan Kirkland, Susan A Kirkland et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    As has been noted for various other outcomes, the pandemic did not impact all subgroups of the population in the same way with respect to loneliness. Our results suggest that public health measures aimed at reducing loneliness during a pandemic should incorporate multifactor interventions fostering positive health behaviours and consider targeting those at high risk for loneliness

  • Effects of Healthy and Neuropathological Aging on Autobiographical Memory

    Open AccessSimpson, Mona Eskandaripour et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023

  • Toward an Understanding of Healthy Cognitive Aging

    Open AccessElise J Oosterhuis, Kate Slade et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023

    The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to improve our understanding of the factors that promote healthy cognitive aging and combat dementia. Aging theories that consider individual aging trajectories are of paramount importance to meet the WHO’s aim. Both the revised Scaffolding Theory of Aging and Cognition (STAC-r) and Cognitive Reserve theory (CR) offer theoretical frameworks for the mechanisms of cognitive aging and the positive influence o…

  • Prospective Memory Function Predicts Future Cognitive Decline and Incident Dementia

    Open AccessCatherine A Browning, Claire Thompson et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    PM is a sensitive early marker of future cognitive decline and risk of incident dementia. PM tasks supported by spontaneous retrieval (event-based) and those with lower retrospective memory demands (regular tasks) function as particularly sensitive predictors. In other words, deficits in performing less effortful PM tasks best predicted cognitive decline. These findings may encourage clinicians to incorporate PM tasks in clinical assessments

  • Heterogeneity in Measures and Rates of Reported Dementia and Subjective Memory Complaints Across U.S. National Surveys

    Open AccessMatthew Picchiello, Brian D Carpenter et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 3

    National survey data on reported dementia and SMC can have important research, training, and policy implications, yet endorsement rates vary widely across surveys. That variability could emerge from subtle but influential item characteristics, and our findings highlight the need for item harmonization, in even their most basic characteristics. Standardizing items across national surveillance surveys facilitates comparison across surveys so that w…

  • Music Engagement and Episodic Memory Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults

    Open AccessHillary J Rouse, Cassidy Doyle et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 5

    The results of this study suggest that engaging in both passive and active music engagement may be superior to engaging with music only passively or actively and that engaging in music both ways may be able to protect against age-related declines in episodic memory. Future research should examine whether community-based music engagement interventions can affect this trajectory of decline

  • Effects of Brain Maintenance and Cognitive Reserve on Age-Related Decline in Three Cognitive Abilities

    Open AccessYunglin Gazes, Seonjoo Lee et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 2

    These results demonstrate that both CR and BM can moderate cognitive changes in healthy aging and that the 2 mechanisms can make differential contributions to preserved cognition

  • Frailty and Processing Speed Performance at the Cusp of Midlife in CATSLife

    Open AccessM Gonzalez-De Luna, María G Luna et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Referencias: 3

    Frailty is evident before midlife and associated with poorer PS, an association that magnifies with age. These findings help elucidate the interrelationship between indicators of frailty and cognitive performance for adults approaching midlife, an understudied period within life-span development

  • Personality and Cognition

    Open AccessYannick Stephan, Angelina R Sutin et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 2
