Adult Age Differences in Memory for Prose: The Question of Sensitivity to Passage Structure.
Zelinski, Elizabeth M.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v20 n6 p1181-92 Nov 1984
Investigates the hypothesis that older adults remember prose less well than young adults because they are less sensitive to the structure of prose passages. Results of studies using stories, essays, and essay summaries suggest that the old are as sensitive to passage structure as the young but recall less information. (Author/CB)
