TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Examining the efficacy of training interventions in improving older driver performance JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Gaspar, John G.

SP - 144 EP - 148 VL - 56 IS - 1 N2 - An increasing number of commercial training products claim to improve older driver performance by training underlying cognitive abilities. However, research examining transfer of such training to driving performance is limited. The current study examined whether 16 hours of training on a commercial training package improved older adults' performance in a high-fidelity driving simulator. Data showed no differential improvements between the training group and a control group on any driving performance measure following training. The commercial training program did not improve the simulated driving performance of older adults.
