Abstract

We administered several measures of mindfulness and anxiety to determine how they relate to word retrieval performance. We found age-related changes in many variables, and evidence that successful word retrieval is related to some measures of mindfulness and anxiety. However, age-related changes were generally independent of these other relationships.
