- Abstract: With the complexity of the overall social environment in the new era, the diversification of personnel types and the aggregation of life styles, social disputes are increasing day by day, resulting in various social problems becoming increasingly prominent. At the same time, with the continuous strengthening of people’s legal awareness, the number of court cases has increased rapidly, and “fewer cases” has become the normal phenomenon of court work. So far, people’s mediation system, as an important means of non-litigation dispute resolution and litigation source governance, has reached the moment of timely reform. In order to maintain the harmony and stability of the whole society, so as to achieve a real settlement and end disputes, it may be possible to reform people’s mediation organizations from different aspects such as the composition of the main body, mediation mode, mediation skills, etc., improve the professional degree of people’s mediation, and promote the development of industrial mediation. To realize the organic unity of the voluntary mediation of the parties, the acceptability of the mediation results and the enforceability of the mediation agreement, so that the people’s mediation system can truly become the first flexible defense line to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people and an important mechanism to maintain social unity.

Syntactic Processing in Older Adults

- Keywords: age; behavioral studies; neurocognitive studies; syntax; theoretical models
- Abstract: In the past 40 years, there has been a growing body of research using different methods investigating whether syntactic processing declines with age. To date, however, studies have provided conflicting results. Here we present a review of the relevant studies and theories, in chronological order, to illustrate the development of focus, methods, and models across the four decades. From this review, one can see that older adults’ syntactic processing involves a complex process which may be influenced by many factors, such as syntactic complexities, individual differences, and languages. And the interpretation of syntax is difficult to separate from other cognitive factors such as working memory. But similar neural changes found in imaging studies suggest that, with advanced technologies and better research designs, researchers do not have far to go to find out the nature of age-related syntactic processing. In addition, the recently devised comprehensive model, based on all previous studies about cognition, shows a systematic illustration of the change in cognition across age and provides suggestions for the prevention of cognitive decay. This model is enlightening for age-related syntactic processing, although it still needs the support of further evidence from syntactic studies.
