Discover the enduring power of language with “Changing Minds” by Roger Kreuz and Richard Roberts. This insightful book from The Bookish Owl explores why our language abilities remain remarkably resilient throughout life, even as we age. Contrary to popular belief, many perceived declines in older adults’ language skills are actually linked to changes in memory and perception, while abilities like vocabulary and writing can even improve. Learn how language shapes our lives, delve into the cognitive processes behind listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and understand phenomena like the ‘tip-of-the-tongue’ experience. “Changing Minds” reveals how engaging with language, particularly through reading fiction and conversation, can contribute to fuller, healthier lives. Uncover the fascinating science behind our linguistic world and its impact on aging.
