Abstract

In this paper, experimental results on the study of language loss in pro- dromal Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the elderly are linked to experimen- tal results from the study of language acquisition in the child, via a tran- sitional stage of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Recent brain imag- ing results from a pilot study comparing prodromal AD and normal ag- ing are reported. Both, behavioral results and their underlying neural underpinnings, identify the source of language deficits in MCI as break- down in syntax–semantics integration. These results are linked to inde- pendent discoveries regarding the ontogeny of language in the child and their neural foundations. It is suggested that these convergent results ad- vance our understanding of the true nature of maturational processes in language, allowing us to reconsider a “regression hypothesis” (e.g., Ribot 1881), wherein later acquisition predicts earliest dissolution.
论语言的生物学基础:语言习得、退化和神经科学的最新进展开始融合
本文将老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)前期语言丧失研究的实验结果与儿童轻度认知障碍(MCI)过渡阶段语言习得研究的实验结果联系起来。最近的脑成像结果从一个试点研究比较前驱AD和正常衰老报告。行为结果及其潜在的神经基础都确定了MCI中语言缺陷的来源是语法-语义整合的中断。这些结果与关于儿童语言的个体发育及其神经基础的独立发现有关。有人认为,这些趋同的结果促进了我们对语言成熟过程的真实本质的理解,使我们能够重新考虑“回归假设”(例如,Ribot 1881),其中较晚的习得预示着最早的溶解。
