Late adulthood, or old age, begins around 65 years and is characterized by gradual physical decline, retirement, and reflection on life achievements. It is also a period of continued learning, adaptation, and the search for meaning and life satisfaction.
6. Language development in late adulthood
Language abilities generally remain intact, though speech may slow, and word retrieval can be more effortful. Older adults often use language to share stories, wisdom, and life experiences. Communication remains vital for social connection and cognitive health.
