这项准实验研究的目的是评估是否年龄的听众和母语的扬声器影响准确重复的单词，句子和话语，包括医学词汇。进行了两个实验。在Exp. 1，20名年轻人和20名老年人重复了60个单词和30个句子，这些单词和句子都是由母语和标准英语使用者产生的。在Exp. 2，30名年轻人和30名老年人重复了母语和规范英语者所说的医学导向的话语。分析表明，老年人在所有任务上的重复分数（准确性）都明显低于年轻人。两组学生的英语本族语者所产生的词汇重复得分均显著高于非英语本族语者。调查应该集中在策略，可能会帮助母语为英语的人在理解非母语为英语的人。
Objectives of this quasi-experimental study were to assess whether age of listeners and native language of the speaker affected the accurate repetition of words, sentences, and utterances, including medical vocabulary. Two experiments were conducted. In Exp. 1, 20 young adults and 20 older adults repeated 60 words and 30 sentences produced by native and normative English speakers. In Exp. 2, 30 young adults and 30 older adults repeated medically oriented utterances spoken by native and normative English speakers. Analysis showed that older adults had significantly lower repetition scores (accuracy) than the Young adults on all tasks. Both groups had significantly higher repetition scores oil items produced by native English speakers than nonnative English speakers. Investigations should focus on strategies which may aid native English speakers in understanding nonnative English speakers.
