Annabeth P. Groenman; Carolien Torenvliet; Tulsi A. Radhoe; Joost A. Agelink van Rentergem; Wikke van der Putten; Mareike Altgassen; Hilde M. Geurts – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Prospective memory helps us to remember to perform tasks in the future. Prospective memory can be either time or event based. The goal of this study was to determine time- and event-based prospective memory in autistic adults across the life span. Autistic (n = 82) and non-autistic (n = 111) adults, aged between 30 and 86 years, performed the…

Wong; Tobias Banaschewski; David Coghill – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: The short-term safety of methylphenidate (MPH) has been widely demonstrated; however the long-term safety is less clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of MPH in relation to pubertal maturation and to explore the monitoring of bone age. Method: Participants from ADDUCE, a two-year observational longitudinal study…

Holdstock, Juliet S.; Dalton, Polly; May, Keith A.; Boogert, Stewart; Mickes, Laura – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
The world population is getting older and, as a result, the number of older victims of crime is expected to increase. It is therefore essential to understand how ageing affects eyewitness identification, so procedures can be developed that enable victims of crime of all ages to provide evidence as accurately and reliably as possible. In criminal…

Cheriet, Nawël; Folville, Adrien; Bastin, Christine – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
This study examined the extent to which individuals can share similar memory representations of a public event and potential age-related differences in memory similarity. Fifty-three young and 59 older Belgian participants completed an online survey, where they recalled the deadly collapse of a bridge in a neighboring country 7 months ago. Results…

Hoeben Mannaert, Lara; Dijkstra, Katinka – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Over the past decade or so, developments in language comprehension research in the domain of cognitive aging have converged on support for resilience in older adults with regard to situation model updating when reading texts. Several studies have shown that even though age-related declines in language comprehension appear at the level of the…

Newsham, Tina M. K.; Schuster, Amy M.; Guest, M. Aaron; Nikzad-Terhune, Katherina; Rowles, Graham D. – Educational Gerontology, 2021
College students are poised to take on important leadership roles in society, and as such, it is vital that they understand the interests and needs of people throughout the life course and that they do not harbor ageist believes that may play out in the policies they enact, the services they provide, or the products they create. Many college…

Wu, Chia-Hsin; Chan, Roger W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises with tubes or straws have been widely used for a variety of voice disorders. Yet, the effects of longer periods of SOVT exercises (lasting for weeks) on the aging voice are not well understood. This study investigated the effects of a 6-week straw phonation in water (SPW) exercise program.…

Tran, Tammy; Tobin, Kaitlyn E.; Block, Sophia H.; Puliyadi, Vyash; Gallagher, Michela; Bakker, Arnold – Learning & Memory, 2021
There has been considerable focus on investigating age-related memory changes in cognitively healthy older adults, in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders. Previous studies have reported age-related domain-specific changes in older adults, showing increased difficulty encoding and processing object information but minimal to no impairment in…

Heard, Claire Louise; Rakow, Tim; Spiegelhalter, David – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
A hazard ratio presents one benefit of exercise as reducing annual mortality risk by 19%. Alternatively, speed-of-ageing metaphors present this as adding 2.5 years to one's life expectancy--equating to 1 extra hour each day--or taking 2.5 years off one's "effective age." Few studies compare these (increasingly popular) metaphors. Study 1…

Molfenter, Sonja M.; Brates, Danielle; Herzberg, Erica; Noorani, Mehak; Lazarus, Cathy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: It has been widely reported that a proportion of healthy, community-dwelling seniors will develop dysphagia in the absence of a known neurological, neuromuscular, or structural cause. Our objective was to test whether various feasible, noninvasive measures of swallowing could differentiate safe versus unsafe and efficient versus…

Sherman, Janet Cohen; Henderson, Charles R.; Flynn, Suzanne; Gair, James W.; Lust, Barbara – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This research investigated the nature of cognitive decline in prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly in mild cognitive impairment, amnestic type (aMCI). We assessed language in aMCI as compared with healthy aging (HA) and healthy young (HY) with new psycholinguistic assessment of complex sentences, and we tested the degree to…

Smith, Maverick E.; Loschky, Lester C.; Bailey, Heather R. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
How does viewers' knowledge guide their attention while they watch everyday events, how does it affect their memory, and does it change with age? Older adults have diminished episodic memory for everyday events, but intact semantic knowledge. Indeed, research suggests that older adults may rely on their semantic memory to offset impairments in…

Hwang, Ji-eun; Choi, Youjin; Yang, Yu-seon; Oh, Yumi – Health Education Journal, 2020
Objective: Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of graphic health warnings on different population segments, including male and female smokers, in an effort to reduce health disparities in Europe and the USA. However, research exploring the impact of gender-specific tobacco control interventions on Asian smokers is lacking. This study…

Ganzeboom, Mario; Bakker, Marjoke; Beijer, Lilian; Strik, Helmer; Rietveld, Toni – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: The increasing need for speech therapy due to our ageing population raises the demand on therapeutical resources. To meet this demand, innovative delivery of speech training is required. eHealth applications may provide a solution, as intensified and prolonged training is only possible and affordable in patients' home environment.…
