Coordinating Words and Sentences: Detecting Age-Related Changes in Language Production

Among older adults, age-related changes in these sentence production processes are associated with reduced working memory. Our constrained language production task is sensitive to detecting aging effects.PMID:38099825 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00222
