Thirty young (x = 27.5 years) and thirty old (x = 67.7 years) volunteers read a selection of prose and then were tested for retention with a fifteen item multiple-choice comprehension test. Half the subjects in each group were in the standard visual condition and read the passage silently while the rest read the material aloud to obtain a simultaneous auditory-visual input. There were no age-related differences in the time taken to read the materials and, for both age groups, reading aloud required significantly more time than silent reading. Although the young subjects had significantly higher scores than old on the comprehension test, neither age group exhibited any differences attributable to mode of presentation of materials.
30名年轻志愿者（平均年龄27.5岁）和30名年长志愿者（平均年龄67.7岁）阅读了一组散文，然后通过一项包含15道题的多项选择题阅读理解测试来检测记忆情况。每组中有一半受试者处于标准视觉条件下，默读文章，其余受试者则大声朗读材料以同时获得听觉和视觉输入。阅读材料所用时间不存在与年龄相关的差异，并且对于两个年龄组来说，大声朗读比默读需要显著更多时间。尽管年轻受试者在阅读理解测试中的得分显著高于年长受试者，但两个年龄组在材料呈现方式上均未表现出任何差异。
