The Impact of Three Cognitive Training Interventions on Older Adults’ Physical Functioning Across 5 Years
This is the first study to demonstrate differential longitudinal cognitive training transfer effects to three performance-based physical functioning measures. Future research should investigate mechanisms of far-transfer effects
The Transfer of Cognitive Speed of Processing Training to Older Adults’ Driving Mobility Across 5 Years
These results and prior research indicate that cognitive SPT transfers to prolonged driving mobility among older adults. Future research should investigate the mechanisms behind transfer effects to real-world activities, such as driving
Longitudinal Differences in Cognitive Functioning Among Older Adults With and Without Heart Failure
The results indicate that cognitive difficulties in memory and speed may occur prior to a HF diagnosis, while those with HF may experience steeper declines in reasoning as measured by word series test
Mediators of the Association Between Driving Cessation and Mortality Among Older Adults
Health difficulties that accompany or follow driving cessation may explain the association between driving cessation and mortality, particularly for residents of large cities, where alternative transportation options may be more numerous
