摘要

本研究调查了语言学习与其他复杂的学习活动相比,对认知功能和社会心理健康的影响。在一项随机对照试验中,43 名年龄在 65-78 岁之间、功能单一的荷兰人分别完成了为期三个月的英语课程(15 人)、音乐训练(13 人)或系列讲座(15 人)。在干预前后和为期四个月的随访中,对认知功能(整体认知、认知灵活性、外显记忆、工作记忆、语言流畅性和注意力)和社会心理健康进行了评估。语言学习者的外显记忆和认知灵活性有了明显改善。然而,除了语言学习者的认知灵活性从测试前到随访期间有较大的正向变化外,语言学习者和音乐训练者的认知变化幅度并无明显差异。我们的研究结果表明,晚年语言学习可以改善某些认知功能和额外语言的流畅性,但其独特效果似乎有限。

The effects of language learning on cognitive functioning and psychosocial well-being in cognitively healthy older adults: A semi-blind randomized controlled trial.

This study investigated the impact of language learning in comparison to other complex learning activities on cognitive functioning and psychosocial well-being in cognitively healthy, community-dwelling older adults. In a randomized controlled trial, 43 Dutch functionally monolinguals aged 65-78 completed a three-month English course (n = 15), music training (n = 13), or a lecture series (n = 15). Cognitive functioning (global cognition, cognitive flexibility, episodic memory, working memory, verbal fluency, and attention) and psychosocial well-being were assessed before and immediately after the intervention, and at a four-month follow-up. The language learners significantly improved on episodic memory and cognitive flexibility. However, the magnitude of cognitive change did not significantly differ between the language learning and music training conditions, except for a larger positive change in cognitive flexibility for the language learners from pretest to follow-up. Our results suggest that language learning in later life can improve some cognitive functions and fluency in the additional language, but that its unique effects seem limited.

期刊介绍: The purposes of Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition are to (a) publish research on both the normal and dysfunctional aspects of cognitive development in adulthood and aging, and (b) promote the integration of theories, methods, and research findings between the fields of cognitive gerontology and neuropsychology. The primary emphasis of the journal is to publish original empirical research. Occasionally, theoretical or methodological papers, critical reviews of a content area, or theoretically relevant case studies will also be published.
