Impaired attentional disengagement in older adults with useful field of view decline.
OBJECTIVES Typical measures of the useful field of view (UFOV) involve many components of attention. The objective of the current research was to examine the attentional operations that might underlie declines in the UFOV. METHOD AND RESULTS We used 2 basic attention tasks to characterize the profile of visual attention in UFOV-impaired and -unimpaired observers. Our results suggested that de...
متن کاملPredicting Driving Performance in Older Adults with the Useful Field of View Test: a Meta-analysis
This investigation examines the Useful Field of View (specifically the UFOV test), as a predictor of objective measures of driving performance. PubMed and PsycInfo databases were searched to retrieve eight independent studies reporting bivariate relationships between the UFOV test and driving measures (driving simulator performance, state-recorded crashes, and on-road driving). Cumulative meta-...
متن کاملFunctional decline in older adults.
Functional disability is common in older adults. It is often episodic and is associated with a high risk of subsequent health decline. The severity of disability is determined by physical impairments caused by underlying medical conditions, and by external factors such as social support, financial support, and the environment. When multiple health conditions are present, they often result in gr...
متن کاملOlder adults' associative deficit in episodic memory: assessing the role of decline in attentional resources.
In this study, we evaluated an associative deficit hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that the deficit seen in the episodic memory performance of older adults is due, in considerable part, to older adults' difficulty in binding together unrelated components of an episode into a cohesive entity (Naveh-Benjamin, 2000). The study extended the conditions under which older adults show a differenti...
متن کاملSelectively impaired associative learning in older people with cognitive decline.
Older people with declining cognitive function typically display deficits in declarative memory processes, often most evident on tests of associative learning (AL). The hippocampal formation (HF) is thought to be critically involved in the encoding and retrieval of such associations, consistent with neuroimaging findings that the HF is damaged in early stages of neurodegenerative disease and in...
