Abstract
- Study is conducted to examine age differences in adults' allocation of effort when reading text for either high levels of recall accuracy or high levels of efficiency. Older adults showed less accurate than the young in both reading time allocation and memory performance suggesting that processing capacity and beliefs contribute to individual differences in engaging resources to effectively learn novel context from text.
