描述了一种用于确定在句子上下文中阅读命题所需的最小时间量的方法。这一阈值阅读时间是可靠、稳定的，老年人的阅读时间明显长于年轻人。对以不同速度呈现的文本的散文记忆进行了评估，这些文本由阈值阅读时间测量和全文阅读时间测量确定。从这些有节奏的条件下回忆与从自我节奏的条件下回忆进行了比较。总体而言，回忆的年龄差异往往随着允许处理的时间的增加而增加。回归分析的结果表明，尽管单个句子的基本加工速度导致了散文回忆的显著差异，但跨句子边界操作的过程也很重要，需要进一步规范。
A method is described for determining the minimum amount of time required to read a proposition in the context of a sentence. This threshold reading time was reliable, stable, and significantly longer for older adults than for younger adults. Prose memory was assessed for texts presented at varying speeds determined by the threshold reading time measure and by a whole-text reading time measure. Recall from these paced conditions was compared with recall from a self-paced condition. In general, age differences in recall tended to increase as the amount of time allowed for processing increased. The results of regression analyses suggest that although the basic speed of processing for a single sentence accounts for substantial variance in prose recall, processes that operate across sentence boundaries are also important and require further specification.
