Younger and older adults were tested in 2 versions of the Stroop color-word task: a color-block version in which the color word was adjacent to a color block and a color-word version in which the word was printed in color. An advance cue preceded the stimulus by 100 to 300 ms, indicating where it would appear. Age differences were small on the color-block version and large on the color-word version. These results are consistent with the speculation that posterior brain attention systems responsible for selecting a spatial location are relatively well preserved with advancing age but that anterior brain attention systems responsible for selecting a line of processing are compromised.
对年轻人和老年人进行了两种版本的斯特鲁普颜色-文字任务测试：一种是颜色块版本，其中颜色词与颜色块相邻；另一种是颜色文字版本，其中单词用颜色印刷。在刺激出现前100至300毫秒会有一个提前提示，指示其将出现的位置。在颜色块版本中年龄差异较小，而在颜色文字版本中年龄差异较大。这些结果与以下推测一致：负责选择空间位置的后脑注意力系统随着年龄增长相对保持良好，但负责选择处理线路的前脑注意力系统受到损害。
