Although age-related differences were observed on digit, word, and sentence spans as well as on recall and recognition, retention was not predicted well by scores on any of the span measures for either young or older adults in either experiment.

This study investigated age-related differences in working memory using a modified version of the Daneman and Carpenter (1980) working memory task, which required subjects to verify a series of sentences, and then at the end of each series recall the final word of each sentence.

Results from Experiment I showed a significant age by vocabulary interaction; only older low-verbal adults were consistently poorer than their younger counterparts, indicating the locus of this interaction may be at initial program comprehension rather than solely at retrieval.

It was concluded that 1) physical qualities of older voices lead to more effective oral transmission; 2) that one expects to receive certain types of oral information from older persons; and 3) that a mismatch between physical vocal quality and age attribution effects evaluation of the speaker, not recall of the information.
