Moderators of language change in middle‐aged and older adults. Preliminary results of the Compostela Aging Study

Naming tests can be good markers of linguistic change in the continuum from healthy cognitive aging to dementia (Flores-Vázquez et al., 2022). Although this is a first approximation, and 18 months can be a too short time to register significant changes, this work stress the importance of jointly analyzing cognitive reserve, functional and neurobiological predictors.
