We used eye-tracking technology to examine young and older adults' performance in the reading with distraction paradigm. One-, 2- and 4-word distracters that formed meaningful phrases were used. There were marked age differences in fixation patterns. Young adults' fixations to the distracters and targets increased with distracter length, suggesting that they were attempting to integrate the distracters with the sentence and had more and more difficulty doing so as the distracters increased in length. Young adults did have better comprehension of the sentences than older adults and also better recognition memory for target words and distracters.
我们使用眼动追踪技术来研究年轻人和老年人在有干扰的阅读范式中的表现。使用了构成有意义短语的单字、双字和四字干扰项。注视模式存在显著的年龄差异。年轻人对干扰项和目标的注视随着干扰项长度的增加而增加，这表明他们试图将干扰项与句子整合，并且随着干扰项长度的增加，这样做的难度越来越大。年轻人对句子的理解确实比老年人更好，对目标词和干扰项的再认记忆也更好。
