Perceivers were assigned to one of two decision conditions. In an absolute decision condition, perceivers rated how likely they would be to allow a young or old highly forgetful, slightly forgetful, or nonforgetful target to perform a challenging task. In a comparison decision condition, perceivers rated two targets, one young and one old, who had a similar level of forgetfulness. Separate Decision Type x Target Forgetfulness analyses of variance were conducted on ratings of the two target age groups. Young targets received higher ratings in the comparison than in the absolute condition, whereas old targets were rated the same in the two conditions. There was some preference for young targets in a comparison situation, but it was concluded that forgetfulness was a more important factor than age in perceivers' ratings.
感知者被分配到两种决策条件之一。在绝对决策条件下，感知者对允许年轻或年老、高度健忘、略有健忘或无健忘的目标执行具有挑战性任务的可能性进行评分。在比较决策条件下，感知者对两个健忘程度相似的目标进行评分，一个年轻，一个年老。对两个目标年龄组的评分进行了单独的决策类型×目标健忘方差分析。年轻目标在比较条件下的评分高于绝对条件下的评分，而老年目标在两种条件下的评分相同。在比较情境中对年轻目标存在一些偏好，但得出的结论是，在感知者的评分中，健忘比年龄是更重要的因素。
