Geriatric Psychology on Language - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 141 Language/memory/Geriatric psychology/Upton: The belief is that, in adulthood, language skills are maintained (Thornton and Light, 2006)(1). However, there is evidence that language development continues even into late adulthood: vocabulary increases (Willis and Schaie. 2006)(2) and older adults often maintain or even improve their knowledge of words and what they mean (Burke and Shafto, 2004)(3). However, some decline in language abilities may appear in late adulthood. This could link to physiological changes that take place in old age, such as hearing difficulties, which can lead to problems in distinguishing speech sounds (Gordon-Salant et al., 2006)(4). >Memory/Geriatric psychology. 1.
