A recent paper on the effect of phonological neighborhood density on age-related difference in language production
Check out this recent paper by Dr. Michele Diaz and her lab on the effect of phonological characteristics on the age-related difference in language production! Aging is often associated with declines in language production. For example, compared to younger adults, older adults experience more…
A recent paper on white matter and age-related phonological deficits
Check out this recent paper published by SLEIC researchers Sara Troutman and Dr. Michele Diaz. This paper looks at the relationship between white matter in the brain and age-related phonological deficits. Using a Picture-Word Interference (PWI) task with 18 younger and 19 older healthy…
