Investigation of Memory-Supporting Design Approaches to the Age-Differentiated Adaptation of Human-Computer Interfaces

Demographic change promotes new concepts for the support of ageing employees during work with computer monitors. An approach to age-differentiated adaptation of the human-computer interface should allow for the specific capabilities and needs of elderly users during primarily cognitive activities. To determine the factors of consideration during the implementation of the adaptation model, experimental investigation took place. It was explored how various adaptation dimensions affect the performance of users and to what extent related age-specific effects occur. The results justify further investigations of design variants.
