adults and may disproportionally affect the safety of older drivers with visual, motor, and cognitive decline.A total of 203 drivers, 120 healthy older (61 men and 59 women, ages 65 years and older) and 83 middle-aged drivers (38 men and 45 women, ages 40 to 64 years), participated ...
Background The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) updated their practice parameters in the evaluation of driving risk in dementia and developed a Caregiver Driving Safety Questionnaire, detailed in their original manuscript (Iverson Gronseth, Reger, Classen, Dubinsky, & Rizzo, 2010). They described...
Alternatively, interventions aimed at improving or maintaining driving skills offer new opportunities to help seniors drive safer, longer. Several studies have examined the impact of workbooks, seminars, and cognitive, simulator or on-road training on driving performance in older adults in general, and...
"Among older adults, chronological age was not predictive of driving safety," says Daniel Grühn, co-author of the study and an associate professor of psychology at NC State. "What mattered most was each driver's attentional capability. In other words, an 80-year-old driver could be a safe...
Additionally, age-related changes in cognitive function, vision, and motor abilities may negatively affect the driving safety of older adults [3]. These types of changes in physical and mental health may contribute to driving cessation [4]. Driving cessation among older adults results in decreased...
For older adults, driving can mean living a more independent, satisfying life. Therefore, it's no surprise that about 86 percent of adults age 65 and older hold active driver's licenses, and many of us expect to drive for longer as we age.
