  • The Active Cognitive Training Interventions and the Onset of and Recovery from Suspected Clinical Depression

    Fredric D Wolinsky, Henry W Mahncke et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2009Cited by: 7References: 3

    We evaluated the effects of the 3 cognitive interventions fielded in the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study on 2 subsets of participants-1,606 without and 424 with suspected clinical depression at baseline. In the former group, only the speed of processing (vs. no-contact control) intervention had a significant effect, with its participants being 38% less likely to develop suspected clinical depression at 1 year (…

  • Does Cognitive Training Improve Internal Locus of Control Among Older Adults

    Fredric D Wolinsky, Mark W Vander Weg et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2009Cited by: 9References: 4

    Cognitive training that targets reasoning and speed of processing can improve the cognitive-specific sense of personal control over one's life in older adults

  • Do Older Drivers At-Risk for Crashes Modify Their Driving Over Time

    Lesley A Ro, L A Ross et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2009Cited by: 3References: 4

    Five-year driving habit trajectories among older adults (n = 645) at-risk for crashes were examined. Performance measures included Useful Field of View (UFOV). Motor-Free Visual Perception Test, Rapid Walk, and Foot Tap. Self-report measures included demographics and the Driving Habits Questionnaire. Longitudinal random-effects models revealed that drivers at-risk for subsequent crashes, based upon UFOV, regulated their driving more than the lowe…

  • Longitudinal Predictors of Driving Cessation Among Older Adults From the Active Clinical Trial

    Jerri D Edwards, Lesley A Ro et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2008Cited by: 15References: 3

    We examined the physical, visual, health, and cognitive abilities of 1,656 older adults as prospective predictors of self-reported driving cessation over a 5-year period. We examined the time to driving cessation across 5 years after we controlled for days driven per week at baseline and any cognitive intervention participation. Older age, congestive heart failure, and poorer physical performance (according to the Turn 360 Test) were statisticall…
