Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

288
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Linguistics
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Typical aging negatively impacts spoken language production skills.
  • Distraction, common in daily communication, is less studied in older adults' speech.
  • This is the first systematic review on this specific topic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and appraise literature on spoken language production in neurotypical older adults under distraction.
  • To understand how dual- or multitask paradigms affect speech in aging.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of studies from inception to January 2024.
  • Searched five major databases (EMBASE, LLBA, Medline, PsycINFO, Web of Science).
  • Independent dual-reviewer process for screening, selection, data extraction, and appraisal.

Main Results:

  • Thirteen studies included in the qualitative synthesis.
  • Evidence base is currently weak, with significant methodological shortcomings.
  • Mixed findings on dual-task costs in aging.

Conclusions:

  • Speech fluency in discourse appears more vulnerable to distraction in older adults.
  • Age-related changes in speaking under dual-task conditions are suggested.
  • Further research is needed on specific dual-task contexts, prioritization, and participant variables.
