Dr. Turk studied the relationship between age and reading comprehension, specifically predicting that older people will show lower comprehension than younger ones. Turk was particularly interested in comprehension of material that is available in the general press. Groups of participants who were 20, 30, 40, or 50 years of age read a chapter from a book by physicist Stephen W. Hawking (1988) entitled A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (the book was on the best-seller list at the time). After reading the chapter, participants were given a comprehension measure. The results showed that there was no relationship between age and comprehension scores; all age groups had equally low comprehension scores. Why do you think no relationship was found

1.  This is because age has no effect on how well you can comprehend essay.

2.  Another reason is that, comprehension depends on the level of reader's vocabulary, focus, and ability to read the language of the text or essay. Which again has nothing to do to with age.

Explanation:

The following reasons can be identified as the possible reason why no relationship was found in the research:

1. This is because age has no effect on how well you can comprehend essay. In as much the can read and understand the contextual words in the essay, it matters not whether the reader is young or old to be able to comprehend the essay effectively.

2. Another reason is that, comprehension depends on the level of reader's vocabulary, focus, and ability to read the language of the text or essay. Which again has nothing to do to with age.

This clearly shows in their poor performance in the research, as the essay given to the subjects is science based and not general work, hence, the vocabulary may appears as jargons to all the readers to comprehend, irrespective of their age.
