Abstract

BACKGROUND
• A clear understanding of aging is crucial to addressing aging-related problems. This study aimed to extend and deepen our understanding of aging mechanisms by investigating the relationship between language and memory abilities in younger and
older individuals. The study examined semantic and syntactic abilities, working memory, as well as declarative and procedural memory. Since little research has been conducted on the relationship between memory ability and both production and comprehension during aging, both modalities were considered (Giglio et al., 2022).
• In line with previous studies, we hypothesized that older adults would perform worse on language and memory tasks. Language and memory performance would also be correlated. Memory capacities are predicted to be unequally correlated with language abilities in expressive and receptive modalities.
