dc.description.abstractALTHOUGH THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT RECOGNIZING PSEUDOWORDS IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN RECOGNIZING WORDS DURING CHILDHOOD, ADULTHOOD, AND EARLY OLD AGE (60?75 YEARS), IT IS NOT YET CLEAR WHAT HAPPENS DURING ADVANCED AGING OR THE FOURTH AGE, A STAGE WHEN THE DECLINE OF FLUID INTELLIGENCE STRONGLY AFFECTS PROCESSING SPEED, BUT A GOOD PERFORMANCE OF CRYSTALLIZED INTELLIGENCE IS DESCRIBED THROUGH AN INCREASE IN VOCABULARY AND KNOWLEDGE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE LEXICALITY EFFECT IN ADVANCED AGING, SPECIFICALLY EXPLORING HOW THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE WORDS AND PSEUDOWORDS (ORTHO-PHONOLOGICALLY PLAUSIBLE FOR SPANISH) IS AFFECTED DURING THE THIRD AND FOURTH-AGES. THE LEXICALITY EFFECT WAS MEASURED USING NAMING AND LEXICAL DECISION TASKS. RESPONSE TIME AND ACCURACY WERE COMPARED BETWEEN A FOURTH-AGE GROUP (80+ YEARS) AND TWO THIRD-AGE GROUPS (60?69 AND 70?79 YEARS) THROUGH LINEAR REGRESSION MODELS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT, IN GENERAL, THE FOURTH-AGE GROUP HAD LONGER RESPONSE TIMES AND REDUCED ACCURACY WHEN RECOGNIZING WORDS AND PSEUDOWORDS. MOREOVER, THEY SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT LEXICALITY EFFECT (WHICH INCREASES FROM THE THIRD- AGE ONWARDS), REFLECTED IN HIGHER COSTS DURING PSEUDOWORD RECOGNITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TASK REQUIRED MORE COGNITIVE EFFORT (LEXICAL DECISION TASK). THESE RESULTS WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE IMPACT OF THE DETERIORATION OF FLUID INTELLIGENCE ON THE SPEED OF LEXICAL RECOGNITION AND WITH THE BETTER PERFORMANCE THAT CRYSTALLIZED INTELLIGENCE CAN GENERATE ON ACCURACY, ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY STAGES OF OLD AGE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS STUDY SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT PSEUDOWORD RECOGNITION RESISTS COGNITIVE DECLINE, AS ACCENTUATED DETERIORATION IS VISUALIZED ONLY AFTER 80 YEARS.
