本研究的目的是研究认知过程对不同话语任务的话语整体连贯能力的影响，并收集了认知健康的年轻（n= 40； 20-39岁）和老年（n= 40； 70-87岁）成年人的数据。研究参与者针对五种常用的话语引出任务制作了口头语言样本，并对其进行了分析，以维持整体连贯性。参与者还完成了记忆和注意力测试。在整体连贯量表上，只有一种类型的话语叙述存在群体差异。在话语引出任务中，与其他话语引出任务相比，复述的整体连贯得分最低。认知过程对维持整体连贯的影响在两个年龄组中有所不同。对于年轻的一组，没有观察到显著的关系。对于老年人，认知测量与故事和程序的整体一致性有关。
The purpose of the present research was to examine the influence of cognitive processes on discourse global coherence ability measured across different discourse tasks and collected from younger (n= 40; 20–39 years) and older (n= 40; 70–87 years) cognitively healthy adults. Study participants produced oral language samples in response to five commonly used discourse elicitation tasks and they were analyzed for maintenance of global coherence. Participants also completed memory and attention measures. Group differences on the global coherence scale were found for only one type of discourse—recounts. Across discourse elicitation tasks the lowest global coherence scores were found for recounts compared to the other discourse elicitation tasks. The influence of cognitive processes on maintenance of global coherence differed for the two age groups. For the younger group, there were no observed significant relationships. For the older group, cognitive measures were related to global coherence of stories and procedures.
