Psychosocial Pathways Between Physical Activity and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Objective To examine whether physical activity (PA) relates to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) both directly and indirectly through depressive symptoms and social isolation, and whether social isolation moderates this association. Methods This cross-sectional analysis used data from the 2011–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ( n = 2,933; ≥60 years). Self-reported PA, depressive symptoms, and social isolation were assessed. MCI…
Enhancing mobility of cognitively impaired older adults
As transportation becomes increasingly technology-dependent, older adults with cognitive impairment face significant barriers to maintaining mobility independence. This study aimed to enhance the mobility and independence of older adults with cognitive impairment through the design and iterative usability testing of online tutorials for mainstream transportation applications – Google Maps and Uber. Grounded in the cognitive theory of multimedia l…
Technology obsolescence across the adult lifespan in a USA internet sample
We know that older adults are less likely to own certain technological devices, such as smartphones, a technology now integral to telehealth. However, for those older adults who do own devices, we know very little about how their devices may differ from those of younger adults. The age of a device can determine the types of programs it can run, as well as the level of protection it has against malicious code. The following study is an attempt to …
When Going Digital Becomes a Necessity
Older adults are in triple jeopardy during COVID-19: compared with younger people, older adults are (1) more likely to develop serious conditions and experience higher mortality; (2) less likely to obtain high quality information or services online; and (3) more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. Hybrid solutions, coupling online and offline strategies, are invaluable in ensuring the inclusion of vulnerable populations. Most of…
Designing for Older Adults
Winner of the 2019 Richard M. Kalish Innovative Publication Book Award 2019 – Gerontological Society of America This new edition provides easily accessible and usable guidelines for practitioners in the design community for older adults. It includes an updated overview of the demographic characteristics of older adult populations and the scientific knowledge base of the aging process relevant to design. New chapters include Existing and Emerging …
Technology Adoption by Older Adults
Background and Objectives: There is growing evidence of the benefits of computers for older adults. Yet, adoption rates are lower compared with younger adults. Extant theoretical models of technology acceptance are limited in their application to older adults-studies on which these models are based included a limited sample of older adults or none at all; none assessed use of a technology specifically designed for older adults; and most only meas…

A Modest Proposal for Solving the Older Worker Productivity Problem
Following the satirist Jonathan Swift (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1080/1080-h/1080-h.htm), I outline a "modest proposal" for managing the older worker productivity problem. Although meta-analyses by psychologists have consistently shown little or no relationship between age and worker productivity, older workers are clearly less productive from an economic perspective, given their average higher salary and, in the United States, their higher…
Improving Social Support for Older Adults Through Technology
Objectives: Information and communication technology holds promise in terms of providing support and reducing isolation among older adults. We evaluated the impact of a specially designed computer system for older adults, the Personal Reminder Information and Social Management (PRISM) system. Design, Setting, and Participants: The trial was a multisite randomized field trial conducted at 3 sites. PRISM was compared to a Binder condition wherein p…
Depressive Symptoms as a Predictor of Memory Complaints in the PRISM Sample
Our results suggest that memory complaints about frequency of forgetting can be the most reliable indicator of depression risk among the four factors in the MFQ. We discuss theoretical implications for longitudinal relationships between memory complaints, depressive symptoms, and cognitive function in older adults
Do “Brain-Training” Programs Work?
In 2014, two groups of scientists published open letters on the efficacy of brain-training interventions, or “brain games,” for improving cognition. The first letter, a consensus statement from an international group of more than 70 scientists, claimed that brain games do not provide a scientifically grounded way to improve cognitive functioning or to stave off cognitive decline. Several months later, an international group of 133 scientists and …
Older Adult Video Game Preferences in Practice
Recent meta-analyses on video game interventions with the aim to improve cognition have shown promise for both younger and older adults. Most studies suggest that fast-paced action games produce the largest benefits, but previous work has shown that older adults might not necessarily adhere to interventions using action games. To increase intervention adherence, we investigated older adult video game preferences that might bolster adherence by ha…

Aging and Information Technology Use
Why are older adults reluctant to adopt new technology, such as the Internet, given its potential to improve the quality of their lives? We review evidence indicating that attitudes and abilities are among the most powerful predictors of technology use. We conclude that normative age-related changes in ability must be taken into account when designing products and training programs for aging adults, and we discuss new tools to support designers. …
Factors predicting the use of technology
The successful adoption of technology is becoming increasingly important to functional independence. The present article reports findings from the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE) on the use of technology among community-dwelling adults. The sample included 1,204 individuals ranging in age from 18-91 years. All participants completed a battery that included measures of demographic characteristics, sel…
The New Media and Older Adults
This article discusses the potential impact of new media on older adults. It outlines trends in population aging and in the use of computers and the Internet. The potential demands of new media on older adults are characterized, and physical and psychological changes in older adults that may affect new media use are briefly reviewed. Finally, the article provides design suggestions that may help attenuate the effects of aging on access to new med…

Expert performance
Counter to the common belief that expert performance reflects innate abilities and capacities, recent research in different domains of expertise has shown that expert performance is predominantly mediated by acquired complex skills and physiological adaptations. For elite performers, supervised practice starts at very young ages and is maintained at high daily levels for more than a decade. The effects of extended deliberate practice are more far…
Age-related declines in working-memory skills
Sixteen young, 16 middle-aged, and 16 older adults practiced an algorithm for squaring 2-digit numbers for 6 sessions. Errors were classified as failures of working-memory processes (e.g., substitutions, deletions, omissions) or as calculation errors (e.g., fact-retrieval errors)
