第一项研究考察了94名与真实的、正在展开的关于乳腺癌的健康情景互动的女性的决策和散文理解。第二项研究涉及问卷数据，重点是75名被诊断患有乳腺癌的女性所做的决定。这项实验室和调查研究得出了两个主要发现。首先，老年女性在做出乳腺癌治疗决定时寻求的信息较少。然而，这些决定的结果与年轻女性的结果相同。其次，老年女性比年轻女性做出这些决定的速度更快。此外，治疗决定与散文处理、阅读时强调为重要的信息类型以及所记忆的关于各种治疗选项的信息类型有关。
The 1st study examined the decision making and prose comprehension of 94 women interacting with an authentic, unfolding health scenario about breast cancer. The 2nd study involved questionnaire data focusing on the decisions made by 75 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Two major findings emerged from this laboratory and survey research. First, older women sought less information when making treatment decisions about breast cancer. However, the outcome of those decisions were equivalent to those of younger women. Second, older women made these decisions faster than younger women. In addition, treatment decisions were related to prose processing, the type of information underlined as important while reading as well as the type of information remembered about various treatment options.
