The age invariance of working memory measures and noninvariance of producing complex syntax
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 1999
Abstract
In challenging current conceptions of the role of working memory in sentence processing, Caplan & Waters consider studies comparing young and older adults on sentence processing. This commentary raises two challenges to Caplan & Waters's conclusions: first, working memory tasks appear to be age invariant. Second, the production of complex syntactic constructions appears not to be age invariant.
