A meta-analysis was performed on the published research literature comparing younger and older adults on their learning and retention of text. A total of 194 studies were located, and 1385 effect sizes were computed. Statistical tests then were performed on subclassifications of variables that were hypothesized to be associated with age differences. A statistically significant age deficit was evident in all comparisons and subclassifications. However, the size of the age difference varied as a function of the nature of the learners being compared, the nature of the text passages, the instructions provided to learners, procedural variables at the time of presentation of the texts, procedural variables at the time of testing, and the nature of the scoring procedures.
