Can training in a real-time strategy video game attenuate cognitive decline in older adults? (2008, background): “, 2004) and short-term memory (Nilsson, 2003), do not display much decline with age; vocabulary (Schaie, 1996; Verhaeghen, 2003) and numeric ability (Schaie, 1996) are also relatively spared.”
Differential effects of age on item and associative measures of memory: a meta-analysis. (2008, neutral): “For example, in a quantitative analysis of 210 articles involving age differences in vocabulary scores, Verhaeghen (2003) showed that older adults outperformed young adults and that age differences depended on the type of vocabulary test employed.”
Bilingual Minds (2009, background): “Although vocabulary knowledge continues to increase well into older age (Verhaeghen, 2003), new words may be learned at a faster rate before knowledge reaches a particular point (perhaps a typical adult-vocabulary repertoire).”
Language and Aging (2007, neutral): “Cognitive aging studies often report vocabulary scores in descriptions of their participants’ background characteristics and these scores are usually higher for older than young adults; this was confirmed in a meta-analysis of 210 studies published in Psychology and Aging between 1986 to 2001 (Verha”
