Cognitive Training: Transfer Beyond the Laboratory?

Objective: To assess the evidence of general transfer from training on abstract computer-based exercises and video games to driving and flight control.

Background: Many believe that training on abstract computer-based exercises and video games enhances cognitive capacities to the benefit of performance in operational contexts. The basic research in this area is controversial.

Aging: Older Adults' Driving Behavior Using Longitudinal and Lateral Warning Systems.

Objective: This study assessed older drivers' driving behavior when using longitudinal and lateral vehicle warning systems together.

Background: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can benefit drivers of all ages. Previous research with younger to middle-aged samples suggests that safety benefits are not necessarily additive with additional ADAS.
