This project aims to investigate why, as we age, we have trouble retrieving words when we speak but not when we read aloud. It takes the novel approach of systematically testing both reading and speaking in the same older adults. Through its innovative use of both behavioural research and computational modelling, it will generate new knowledge in spoken word production and reading, areas in which the project team have acknowledged expertise. This project will advance theories, achieving understanding of how ageing affects the cognitive systems involved in saying words and reading them aloud. By also investigating whether reading aloud can support word retrieval, it has potential future benefit for improved communication in older adults.

这个项目的目的是研究为什么随着年龄的增长，我们在说话时记忆单词有困难，而在大声朗读时却没有。它采用了一种新颖的方法，系统地测试同一位老年人的阅读和说话能力。通过创新地使用行为研究和计算模型，它将产生口语生成和阅读方面的新知识，这些领域是项目团队公认的专业知识。这个项目将推进理论，了解衰老如何影响与说话和大声朗读有关的认知系统。通过研究大声朗读是否能支持单词检索，它对改善老年人的沟通有潜在的未来益处。
