“…Studies reported that semantic processing remains stable in old age in language comprehension and production (Kavé and Mashal, 2012;Ramscar et al, 2014;Lacombe et al, 2015) since semantic process of language benefits from verbal knowledge (i.e., vocabulary and semantic memory) adults have acquired over years (Verhaeghen, 2003;Ben-David et al, 2015). Compared to young adults, older adults presented comparable performance in semantic processing tasks including semantic judgment (Little et al, 2004), semantic priming task (Gold et al, 2009), lexical decision task (Gold et al, 2009), and picture naming (Kavé and Mashal, 2012).…”

Aging Effects on Phonological and Semantic Priming in the Tip-of-the-Tongue: Evidence From a Two-Step Approach

The mechanism underlying the age difference in spoken word production remains controversial. We used a two-step approach proposed by Gollan and Brown (2006) to investigate the semantic and phonological retrieval deficits when tip-of-the-tongue occurs in young and older adults. Importantly, we controlled the inhibition ability in both older and young groups. In experiment 1 with a people pictures naming task, older adults produced more TOTs than young adults, and they suffered from phonological retrieval deficit rather than semantic retrieval deficit in speaking. In experiment 2 with a priming paradigm, participants were presented semantically related or phonologically related names before target pictures, which formed semantic or phonological priming conditions for lexical access. Compared with young adults, older adults showed a greater effect of phonological priming on decreasing TOTs occurrence. For semantic retrieval deficit, older adults exhibited a smaller phonological facilitation effect and a larger semantic interference effect than young adults. For phonological retrieval deficit, older adults presented a larger phonological facilitation effect in the first-name related priming condition than the first-syllable related priming condition, whereas young adults showed similar facilitation effects between the two phonological priming conditions. Our findings provide consistent evidence for the transmission deficit hypothesis, and highlight that aging affects bidirectional connections between semantic and phonological nodes in speech production.

“…Since the late 1990s, there has been a growing interest in the cognitive and clinical psychology literature in the role of emotion processing in adaptive behaviours, including prosocial and productive social interactions (Kotz & Paulmann, 2011). The communication of emotions is a dynamic process and occurs through multiple dimensions including words (Ben-David, Erel, Goy, & Schneider, 2015) and non-verbal communication, such as that which is expressed in the tone of voice (Ben-David, Multani, Shakuf, Rudzicz, & Van Lieshout, 2016;Ben-David, Thayapararajah, & Van Lieshout, 2013;Ben-David, Van Lieshout, & Leszcz, 2011;Leshem, Arzouan, & Armony-Sivan, 2015). The ability to perceive emotions accurately and process them appropriately is crucial for effective social life (Schwartz & Pell, 2012).…”

Background Several variables have been evidenced for their association with violent reoffending. Resultant interventions have been suggested, yet the rate of recidivism remains high. Alexithymia, characterised by deficits in emotion processing and verbal expression, might interact with these other risk factors to affect outcomes. Aim Our goal was to examine the role of alexithymia as a possible moderator of risk factors for violent offender recidivism. Our hypothesis was that, albeit with other risk factors, alexithymia increases the risk of violent reoffending. Method We conducted a systematic literature review, using terms for alexithymia and violent offending and their intersection. Results (a) No study that directly tests the role of alexithymia in conjunction with other potential risk factors for recidivism and actual violent recidivism was uncovered. (b) Primarily alexithymia researchers and primarily researchers into violence have separately found several clinical features in common between aspects of alexithymia and violence, such as impulsivity (total n = 24 studies). (c) Other researchers have established a relationship between alexithymia and both dynamic and static risk factors for violent recidivism (n = 16 studies). Conclusion Alexithymia may be a possible moderator of risk of violent offence recidivism. Supplementing offenders' rehabilitation efforts with assessments of alexithymia may assist in designing individually tailored interventions to promote desistance among violent offenders.

“…One of most notable cognitive skills improved with ageing (and not just preserved) is vocabulary (Ben‐David et al . ). Thus, using real words may somewhat alleviate the stress associated with the oral‐DDK task.…”

The paper provides normative values for oral-DDK rates for older Hebrew speakers. The data show the large impact of ageing on oro-motor functions. The analysis further indicates that speech and language pathologists should consider separate norms for clients of 65-74 years and those of 75-86 years. Hebrew rates were found to be different from English norms for the oldest group, shedding light on the impact of language on these norms. Finally, the data support using a dual-protocol (real- and non-word repetition) with older adults to improve differential diagnosis of normal and pathological ageing in this task.
