The authors examined age differences in adults' allocation of effort when reading text for

To test the notion that aging brings an inability to self-initiate processing, the authors
investigated the effects of memory load on online sentence understanding. Younger and …

The effects of psycholinguistic variables are critical to the evaluation of theories about the
cognitive reading system. However, reading research has tended to focus on the impact of …

Previous research has suggested that older readers may self-regulate input during reading

When older adults are asked to identify problems in their daily cognitive functioning, certain
