DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal is for a five year mentored career development award (K01). The long term objective is for the applicant to receive training in cognitive aging research in order to become an independent aging researcher. The training program enables the applicant to (1) become familiar with and further develop theoretical models of cognitive aging, (2) acquire methodological and quantitative skills for aging research, and (3) get hands-on experience in conducting aging research. These skills are necessary for the applicant to become an independent aging researcher. In addition to the specific career development plan, the proposed research will substantially add to the field of cognitive aging through (1) the application of on-line methodologies for sentence processing, (2) filling a gap in the literature with basic research on the effects of aging on subject-verb agreement, (3) examining untested predictions from theoretical models of cognitive aging and (4) identifying whether fundamental linguistic processes in comprehension and production are spared or impaired in old age. Moreover, little on-line sentence production or agreement research has been conducted with older populations, even though current theories of aging make clear predictions. The applicant's demonstrated strengths in conducting this line of research with young adults will provide a solid foundation for mentored training in aging research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是为期五年的指导职业发展奖（K01）。长期目标是让申请人接受认知衰老研究的培训，以成为一名独立的老龄化研究人员。该培训计划使申请人能够（1）熟悉并进一步发展认知衰老的理论模型，（2）获得衰老研究的方法论和定量技能，以及（3）在进行衰老研究方面获得动手实践经验。这些技能对于申请人成为独立老龄化研究人员是必要的。除了具体的职业发展计划外，拟议的研究还将通过（1）应用在线方法的应用实质上增加了认知衰老领域的句子处理方法，（2）通过基础研究填补文献中的空白，对衰老的影响对受试者一致性的影响，（3）研究对认知模型的未经测试的预测（3），是否在认知或识别的基础上进行了（4）识别（4）的基础（4），这是否是（4），或者是识别的（4），或者是识别的（4）。在老年时受损。此外，即使当前的衰老理论可以明确预测，即使在线句子的生产或协议研究很少进行。申请人在与年轻人进行这项研究方面所具有的优势将为衰老研究的指导培训提供坚实的基础。
