Abstract

This project proposal aims at providing a comprehensive assessment of pragmatic and narrative abilities in a sample of healthy adults ranging from 20 to 86 years old, and investigating the relation between decline of pragmatic and narrative abilities and other cognitive functions, namely cognitive skills (i.e., working memory, long term memory, and attention), EFs, ToM, and Cognitive Reserve. A further aim of the project is to provide normative data for the Italian aging population and to verify whether, pragmatic and narrative abilities can be enhanced in healthy aging with a new treatment proposed to contrast the decline of such skills. Finally, the project aims at investigating whether the expected improvement impacts on the participants perceived quality of life.
