In an attempt to discern factors that contribute to the high fall rate in aging populations; investigators have looked to a task that is often executed while walking – talking. Although the effects of varying cognitive-linguistic load across a variety of dual-tasks have been heavily researched, few studies have systematically examined the contribution of increasingly complex cognitive-linguistic load on the gait parameters of healthy aging adults. Moreover, few researchers have utilized ecologically valid stimuli as a part of their investigation. The broad goal of this research was to examine the nature of the impact of manipulating cognitive-linguistic load hierarchy on gait in healthy aging. Discourse tasks of varying complexity were presented while participants walked a 44-foot walkway. The progression of discourse was from low load (explaining how to perform a task) to high load (completing a story initiated by the investigator). The dependent measures collected included measures of linguistic complexity, fluency, and gait. Results showed a significant effect of cognitive-linguistic load linguistic complexity on measures of discourse. Comparison of fluency measures across conditions revealed that cognitive-linguistic load did not have a significant impact on fluency. However, like measures of discourse, gait parameters were significantly affected by the addition of a secondary cognitive-linguistic task. Theoretically, these results could imply that a change in cognitive-linguistic and gait measures is linked to a sharing of resources involved in the execution of both tasks. In addition, these results also provide insight into dual-task performance and the potential contribution of cognitive-linguistic load on fall rates in healthy and neurologically compromised populations. ; A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Communication Disorders in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ; Degree Awarded: Spring Semester, 2008. ; Date of Defense: March 3, 2008. ; Aging, Cognitive-Linguistic Load, Gait, Speech ; Includes bibliographical references. ; Julie A.G.
