Direct linkIhle, Andreas; Ghisletta, Paolo; Gouveia, Élvio R.; Gouveia, Bruna R.; Oris, Michel; Maurer, Jürgen; Kliegel, Matthias – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Objectives: From a longitudinal perspective, the direction of the relationship between cognitive functioning and well-being in old age, both conceptually and empirically, is still under debate. Therefore, we aimed to disentangle the different longitudinal relationship patterns proposed and whether those differed between young-old and old-old…

McKenna, Victoria S.; Huber, Jessica E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study evaluated the accuracy of respiratory calibration methods for estimating lung volume during speech breathing. Method: Respiratory kinematic data were acquired via inductance plethysmography in 32 young adults, 22 older adults, and 13 older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD). Raw rib cage (RC) and abdomen (AB) signals (V) were…

Lee, Jong-Wha; Han, Jong-Suk; Song, Eunbi – International Journal of Training Research, 2019
This paper explores whether training programs were effective in improving labor market performance of individuals, in particular wages and employment probability, in South Korea. The regression analyses using the data from Korean respondents in the Program for the International Assessment of Adults Competencies (PIAAC) survey show the strong…

Stancliffe, Roger J.; Nye-Lengerman, Kelly M.; Kramme, Julie E. D. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2019
Little is known about how, when, or why individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) retire. Recognizing the changing needs of older adults with IDD is critical to support person-driven services and development of best practices in aging transitions. Using secondary analysis of the 2016 to 2017 National Core Indicators--Adult…

Thiessen, Amber; Beukelman, David – Topics in Language Disorders, 2019
Purpose: Study purposes were to (a) examine achievement goal tendencies and learning mode preferences of adults who were unfamiliar with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) facilitation, and (b) determine whether age and gender have an effect on these variables. Recruitment of untrained individuals allowed the researchers to simulate…

This study was designed to determine the factor(s) that influence the choice of the foot throughout the lifespan. To achieve this purpose, 86 right-footed participants (young children (5-- 8), adolescents (10-14), young adults (18-25) and older adults (over 50) were tested on two tasks of different levels of difficulty, performed in three spatial…

Yap, LeLee; Francis, Sarah L.; Shelley, Mack C., II; Montgomery, Doris; Lillehoj, Catherine J. – Journal of Extension, 2019
We identified gaps in safe food handling practices that may be placing older adults at increased risk of food-borne illness. A convenience sample of 1,019 older adults completed the Food Safety Behavior Questionnaire. Majority groups among participants were those who were female, those who were White, and those who were widowed. Participants had…

Fausto, Bernadette A.; Badana, Adrian N. S.; Arnold, Michelle L.; Lister, Jennifer J.; Edwards, Jerri D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The aims of the study were to compare the Cognitive Self-Report Questionnaire (CSRQ; Spina, Ruff, & Mahncke, 2006) Hearing and Cognitive subscale ratings among older adults with and without probable mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to examine whether self-report, as measured by the CSRQ, is associated with objective measures of…

Ben-David, Boaz M.; Icht, Michal – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Oral-diadochokinesis (oral-DDK) tasks are extensively used in the evaluation of motor speech abilities. Currently, validated normative data for older adults (aged 65 years and older) are missing in Hebrew. The effect of task stimuli (non-word versus real-word repetition) is also non-clear in the population of older adult Hebrew…

Bjursell, Cecilia; Nystedt, Paul; Björklund, Anita; Sternäng, Ola – Educational Gerontology, 2017
A prolonged working life is crucial for sustaining social welfare and fiscal stability for countries facing ageing populations. The group of older adults is not homogeneous; however, differences within the group may affect the propensity to continue working and to participate in continuing education. The aim of this paper is to explore how…

Harel-Arbeli, Tami; Wingfield, Arthur; Palgi, Yuval; Ben-David, Boaz M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The study examined age-related differences in the use of semantic context and in the effect of semantic competition in spoken sentence processing. We used offline (response latency) and online (eye gaze) measures, using the "visual world" eye-tracking paradigm. Method: Thirty younger and 30 older adults heard sentences related…

Purpose: This study examines the effect of age on language use with an automated analysis of digitized speech obtained from semistructured, narrative speech samples. Method: We examined the Cookie Theft picture descriptions produced by 37 older and 76 young healthy participants. Using modern natural language processing and automatic speech…

Kuhlmann, Beatrice G.; Brubaker, Matthew S.; Pfeiffer, Theresa; Naveh-Benjamin, Moshe – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Few studies have compared interference-based forgetting between item versus associative memory. The memory-system dependent forgetting hypothesis (Hardt, Nader, & Nadel, 2013) predicts that effects of interference on associative memory should be minimal because its hippocampal representation allows pattern separation even of highly similar…

Soares Marques dos Anjos, Jussara; Gomes, Lucy; Cachioni, Meire; Salmazo da Silva, Henrique – Educational Gerontology, 2022
The aim of this study was to document the impacts of an environmental education program with adolescents and older adults on attitudes about old age, and to investigate possible associations of these attitudes with age group, economic class, residing with grandparents, and grandparents' contribution to parenting. We investigated adolescents…
