Abstract	This study analyzed the types of lexical relations produced by Spanish-speaking older adults with typical aging. A total of 120 older adults completed a word association norms task with 117 stimulus words, which allowed us to explore differences in associations by sex, age, and years of education. We employed two classifications to code the lexical relations: a traditional classification (paradigmatic versus syntagmatic) and a second classification categorizing responses into 17 types of associations (e.g., categorial versus non-categorial). Our results show that participants have a preference for paradigmatic responses (e.g., "dog-animal"), as well as associations with thematic-contextual co-occurrence plus semantic relations (e.g., "cradle-baby"). These findings suggest that older adults tend to establish lexical relations based on a combined link, one that is semantic and contextual. (As Provided).
