摘要

心理词典在人的一生中会发生变化。之前的研究通过汇总年龄相近的个体的数据发现,随着年龄的增长,以自由联想网络为代表的老化词库会变得更加稀疏:程度和聚类系数降低,平均最短路径长度增加。然而,由于这项研究是基于综合数据,因此个体是否会表现出类似的与年龄相关的词汇变化模式还有待观察。在这里,我们展示了如何利用个体层面的方法来揭示随年龄而系统变化的差异。我们还将这种方法与总体层面的方法进行了直接比较,以说明这两种方法的不同之处。我们的个体层面方法遵循了过去许多方法的逻辑,即在人口层面数据中对个体数据进行比较。为此,我们从人群数据中生成一个集合网络,然后确定不同年龄段的个体数据在该网络中的位置。尽管我们发现大多数定性模式都得到了保留,但随着年龄的增长,个体在聚合网络中产生的关联具有更高的聚类系数。这表明,随着年龄的增长,知识更加专业化,但也更加集中。年龄越大的个体在对单个线索做出反应时所产生的联想之间的距离也越大,这表明联想的范围更加多样化。我们用三种不同的语言展示了这些结果:英语、西班牙语和荷兰语都显示了总体网络方法和个体网络方法之间相同的定性差异模式。这些结果揭示了个体层面的方法如何与总体数据相结合,并展示了理解老龄词汇的新见解。

Age-Related Diversification and Specialization in the Mental Lexicon: Comparing Aggregate and Individual-Level Network Approaches

Age-Related Diversification and Specialization in the Mental Lexicon: Comparing Aggregate and Individual-Level Network Approaches

The mental lexicon changes across the lifespan. Prior work, aggregating data among individuals of similar ages, found that the aging lexicon, represented as a network of free associations, becomes more sparse with age: degree and clustering coefficient decrease and average shortest path length increases. However, because this work is based on aggregated data, it remains to be seen whether or not individuals show a similar pattern of age-related lexical change. Here, we demonstrate how an individual-level approach can be used to reveal differences that vary systematically with age. We also directly compare this approach with an aggregate-level approach, to show how these approaches differ. Our individual-level approach follows the logic of many past approaches by comparing individual data as they are situated within population-level data. To do this, we produce a conglomerate network from population-level data and then identify how data from individuals of different ages are situated within that network. Though we find most qualitative patterns are preserved, individuals produce associates that have a higher clustering coefficient in the conglomerate network as they age. Alongside a reduction in degree, this suggests more specialized but clustered knowledge with age. Older individuals also reveal a pattern of increasing distance among the associates they produce in response to a single cue, indicating a more diverse range of associations. We demonstrate these results for three different languages: English, Spanish, and Dutch, which all show the same qualitative patterns of differences between aggregate and individual network approaches. These results reveal how individual-level approaches can be taken with aggregate data and demonstrate new insights into understanding the aging lexicon.
