本研究采用双任务程序，考察了20名青年（18-33岁）和20名老年（65-80岁）被试的文本类型对散文加工、理解和回忆的影响。次要任务的反应时间提供了阅读叙述性和非叙述性段落的认知能力指标。两组人回忆起的叙述性故事都比简短的段落多，尽管老年受试者比年轻受试者回忆得少。此外，两个年龄组的叙述协议显示了更大的差异，回忆的主要思想相比，细节。年龄差异的文本体裁效应的模式被发现的理解，容量利用和处理效率的措施。看来，叙事体裁促进了大多数措施的性能和部分补偿的一些限制，在老年组。
A dual-task procedure was used to examine the effects of text genre on prose processing, comprehension, and recall in 20 young (18–33 years) and 20 old (65–80 years) adults. Response latencies on a secondary task provided an index of cognitive capacity used in reading narrative and expository passages. Both groups recalled more of narratives than of expository passages, although old subjects recalled less than young. Also, the narrative protocols of both age groups showed a greater difference for recall of main ideas as compared to details. Age differences in the pattern of text genre effects were found on measures of comprehension, capacity utilization, and processing efficiency. It appears that the narrative genre facilitated most measures of performance and partially compensated for some limitations in the older group.
