  • The Relationship Between Computer Experience and Computerized Cognitive Test Performance Among Older Adults

    Pariya L Fazeli, Lesley A Ro et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2012Cited by: 4References: 2

    Findings suggest that computer experience is not uniquely related to performance on computerized cognitive measures compared with paper-and-pencil measures. Because the relationship between computer experience and UFOV was fully attenuated by computer attitudes, this may imply that motivational factors are more influential to UFOV performance than computer experience. Our findings support the hypothesis that computer use is related to cognitive p…

  • The Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma

    Christopher M Layne, Chandra Ghosh Ippen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2011

    Recognition of the nationwide high prevalence of psychological trauma in children and adolescents, combined with increasing awareness of the far-reaching adverse consequences of childhood trauma, have led to calls to develop a trauma-informed mental health workforce. We describe the initial pilot test of the Core Concepts portion of the Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma, as conducted in a large graduate school of social work. The Core Curriculu…

  • 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…
