Abstrakt:	The influence of aging on the processing of figurative language was investigated by utilizing Frisson and Pickering's (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 25, 1366-1383, 1999) paradigm, monitoring eye fixation times to target words in sentences. First fixation times and total fixation times were analyzed for familiar and unfamiliar metonymies and literal control sentences. Frisson and Pickering found that processing figurative and literal expressions yielded similar patterns of eye fixations. In the current study, these methods and results were replicated and extended to include older adults' processing of metonymies. This investigation replicated their findings for young adults and found that older adults produced the same processing patterns as the younger adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
