摘要：
Two studies are reported in which adults ranging from 18 to 80 years of age performed tasks designed to measure working memory functioning and perceptual comparision speed. The results from both studies indicated that statistical control of the measures of perceptual comparison speed greatly attenuated the age-related variance in measures of working memory even when working memory was assessed under self-paced conditions. Additional results in the second study supported the hypothesis that the speed influence was manifested in the rate of activating information rather than in the rate at which it was lost as a function of time or other processing.
