Production of Complex Syntax in Normal Aging and Alzheimer's Disease.
Bates, Elizabeth; And Others
Language and Cognitive Processes, v10 n5 p487-539 Oct 1995
This study compared the production of complex syntax by 16 older adults diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease and 25 age-matched control subjects. It found that although individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease did not produce frank lexical or grammatical errors, they did find it difficult to access the "best fit" between meaning and form. Contains 13 references. (MDM)
