  Reading Comprehension in Aging: The Role of Working Memory and Metacomprehension
 
 
Titel: Reading Comprehension in Aging: The Role of Working Memory and Metacomprehension
Auteur: De Beni, Rossana
Borella, Erika

Paginering: Jaargang 14 (2007) nr. 2 pagina's 189-212
Jaar: 2007-03
Inhoud: This study examines age-related differences in reading comprehension analyzing the role of working memory and metacomprehension components in a sample of young (18-30 years), young-old (65-74 years), and old-old (75-85 years) participants. Text comprehension abilities were measured by a standardized test, including two texts: a narrative and an expository text. The elderly's reading comprehension performance, when compared to the norm, emerged to be adequate. More specifically, the young-old showed an equivalent level of comprehension as the young adults for the narrative text. However, a clear age-related decline was found in the case of the expository text. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that working memory capacity, as well as different metacomprehension components but not age, are the key aspects in explaining the different patterns of changes in the comprehension of narrative and expository texts.
