通过两个实验考察了成人对电视节目的理解和记忆的年龄差异；两项研究都探讨了内容（信息水平）和学习者（词汇水平）变量。每项研究分别有50名老年人和50名年轻人参加。实验一的自由回忆、探查回忆和识别测量结果显示词汇交互作用显著的年龄效应；只有较年长的低语言水平的成年人一直比年轻的同龄人更穷。实验二表明，这种相互作用的轨迹可能是在最初的程序理解，而不仅仅是在检索。本研究结果显示了在成人认知发展研究中考虑学习者特征的重要性。
Two experiments were conducted to examine age differences in adults' comprehension and retention of television programs; in both studies content (level of information) and learner (vocabulary level) variables were explored. Fifty older and 50 younger adults participated in each study. Results from Experiment I measures of free recall, probe recall, and recognition showed a significant age by vocabulary interaction; only older low-verbal adults were consistently poorer than their younger counterparts. Experiment II demonstrated that the locus of this interaction may be at initial program comprehension rather than solely at retrieval. The results were interpreted as demonstrating the importance of considering learner characteristics in adult cognitive developmental research.
