Foreign language learning for active aging: Cognitive and psychosocial benefits of Chinese older adults learning English
Foreign language learning shows significant potential to improve older adults’ language skills, cognitive functions, and mental health, thereby promoting active aging. This quasi-experimental mixed-methods study examined the cognitive and psychosocial benefits of a 5-month community-based English learning program among 24 Chinese older adults. This research combined quantitative measures (cognitive and psychological tests) with qualitative themat…
Which dependency distance measure best reflects cognitive abilities? Evidence from oral production of older adults with varying cognitive levels
Dependency distance is a widely used measure of syntactic complexity, often considered to reflect cognitive abilities such as memory. However, empirical support for this claim remains limited. This study aims to examine whether dependency distance (DD) measures are associated with global cognitive function and single-domain memory performance, and identifies which variant best reflects these abilities. A sequential picture description task elicit…
Older adults’ resistance to engaging in reminiscence therapy: A multimodal perspective
This study employs multimodal conversation analysis to examine the precursors of resistance displays during Reminiscence Therapy (RT) sessions, the format of the resistance exhibited by Chinese older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the ways it was managed by caregivers. It is found that older adults with MCI display resistance through behaviors like initiating repair, denying question premises, changing topics, refusing overtly, …
Ethnic identity construction through multimodal linguistic landscape at Ban Arunotai in Thailand
Automatic speech analysis for detecting cognitive decline of older adults
Background: Speech analysis has been expected to help as a screening tool for early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild-cognitively impairment (MCI). Acoustic features and linguistic features are usually used in speech analysis. However, no studies have yet determined which type of features provides better screening effectiveness, especially in the large aging population of China. Objective: Firstly, to compare the screening effectiven…
Self-identity construction and pragmatic compensation in a Chinese DAT elder’s discourse
This study explores how the identity is constructed of elders who have Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (DAT) by examining the communicative disorder in daily interactions with other interlocutors. Specifically, this paper evaluates a conversation between one Chinese elder with early-stage DAT and the interviewer. It analyzes the identity construction processes in the discourse in depth, using the age-identity taxonomy, self-identity representation…
Comprehension of metaphors in patients with mild cognitive impairment: Evidence from behavioral and ERP data
The ability of metaphor comprehension reflects the cognitive status of elders. This study explored the ability of Chinese aMCI patients to access metaphorical meaning based on linguistic models of metaphor processing. ERPs were recorded from 30 aMCI patients and 30 control participants when judging the meaningfulness of literal sentences, conventional metaphors, novel metaphors, and anomalous expressions. The lower accuracy of the aMCI group reve…
Decoding multimodal resources in the master–disciple interactions of Chinese Zen Buddhism
Over its long period of development, Zen Buddhism in ancient China has adopted a unique method of enlightenment for the direct individual understanding of the Buddha-nature in the interaction between Zen masters and their disciples, instead of merely depending on written classics or oral teaching, which constitutes so-called “independence-from-words.” Communication between monks in Zen is a process of multimodal interaction, in which many differe…
Pathological verbal repetition by Chinese elders with Dementia of Alzheimer’s Type
Verbal repetition has been acknowledged as one of the most common symptoms in early Dementia of Alzheimer’s Type (DAT). Despite previous attempts, the applicability of verbal repetition as an essential linguistic marker indicating this disease remains unexplored for Chinese DAT patients. This study collects Chinese DAT patients’ daily conversation data to investigate both structural and functional aspects of pathological verbal repetition. Three …
