Grant Activity:
I can't find the word! Reading to maintain communication skills in ageing.
Purpose:
This project aims to investigate why, as we age, we have trouble retrieving words when we speak but not when we read aloud. It takes the novel approach of systematically testing both reading and speaking in the same older adults. Through its innovative use of both behavioural research and computational modelling, it will generate new knowledge in spoken word production and reading, areas in which the project team have acknowledged expertise. This project will advance theories, achieving understanding of how ageing affects the cognitive systems involved in saying words and reading them aloud. By also investigating whether reading aloud can support word retrieval, it has potential future benefit for improved communication in older adults.
