Accessing morphosyntactic information is preserved at old age, except
for irregulars
The current study examined morphological priming in older individuals using two
complex phenomena of German inflection. Study 1 examined inflected adjectives
which encode multiple morphosyntactic features using regular affixes. Study 2
targeted inflected verb forms which also encode multiple features, but in this
case using idiosyncratic stem variants. Study 1 revealed priming effects
indicating efficient access of morphosyntactic features from inflected word
forms with regular affixes. Study 2 showed that the same individuals were less
efficient at accessing morphosyntactic features from marked stems. We argue that
this contrast reflects age-related memory decline, which affects feature access
from (lexically conditioned) stem variants more than feature access from
lexically unconditioned regular forms.
