Good reading comprehension is vital for effective and accurate sharing of information, and it is essential in modern society. Despite this, the most recent Skills for Life Survey revealed that almost 15% of adults in England lack sufficient ability to attain even the lowest grade in GCSE-level English assessments (BIS, 2011). Limitations in the capacity to fully comprehend written information can have significant consequences, complicating critical tasks such as understanding the instructions on medication bottles. Normal age-related changes in cognitive processes imply that older adults could be especially vulnerable to adverse changes in reading comprehension skills (Hannon & Daneman, 2009). This is an important concern because the number of people aged 65+ is projected to increase globally by 383 million by 2030 (He, Goodkind & Kowal, 2016). I propose a project to identify the cognitive resources underlying reading comprehension, and to investigate the stability of these components in older adults. The findings from this project will inform strategies to support effective reading comprehension across the lifespan

良好的阅读理解对于有效和准确地共享信息至关重要，这在现代社会中至关重要。尽管如此，最新的生活技能调查显示，近 15% 的英格兰成年人缺乏足够的能力，无法在 GCSE 水平英语评估中获得最低分数（BIS，2011）。完全理解书面信息的能力的限制可能会产生严重后果，使理解药瓶上的说明等关键任务变得复杂。认知过程中与年龄相关的正常变化意味着老年人可能特别容易受到阅读理解技能不利变化的影响（Hannon & Daneman，2009）。这是一个重要的问题，因为到 2030 年，全球 65 岁以上的人口数量预计将增加 3.83 亿（He、Goodkind & Kowal，2016）。我提出了一个项目来识别阅读理解背后的认知资源，并研究这些成分在老年人中的稳定性。该项目的研究结果将为支持整个生命周期有效阅读理解的策略提供信息
