摘要：Language abilities are among the most preserved cognitive abilities in aging. As it is the case for other cognitiveabilities, the preservation of language abilities in aging is sustained by neurofunctional reorganization (Cabeza etah, 2002). Some language abilities, such as verbal fluency (VF), are more diverse in the way they are approached bythe participant as lexical stock increases with age, as well as in the way they make use of different processes namelyclustering (i.e., producing words from the same semantic or orthographic sub-category) and switching (i.e., shift ofword between different clusters). The aim of this study is to describe the functional age-related changes that occur inthe brain for the strategic processes involved in VF using fMRI.
