Abstract Applying the resource allocation approach, this study investigated the effect of font emphasis (manipulated with color of font) on sentence comprehension in older adults. The results showed that font emphasis eliminated the discrepancy of resource input in word-level processes between the older and younger adults. Font emphasis decreased the resources allocation for the older adults, while increased the resources input for the younger adults. And therefore it suggests the mechanisms underlying font emphasis are different between the two groups. In addition, comparing to word-level processing, font emphasis does not affect the resource allocation at the textbase-level.
