Compared the performance of 24 61–75 yr old students with that of 24 18–28 yr old students and also with the performance of 24 63–75 yr old nonstudents who read and recalled short texts that were in either narrative or expository form. In addition, a set of 6 verbal ability measures thought to be related to discourse memory was obtained for all of the Ss. Older Ss recalled less from the texts than younger Ss, and neither type of text nor student status modified the magnitude of the age differences. The set of verbal ability measures was adequately described by 2 principal components, one consisting of simple, speed-related skills, and the other consisting of more complex skills. Each set of variables predicted a proportion of discourse memory variance and accounted for some of the variance that would otherwise be attributed to age. Results suggest that age differences in some basic cognitive skills related to reading effectiveness might underlie age differences in memory for discourse.(38 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
