Age-related Longitudinal Changes in Aviator Performance
| Status: | Completed |
|---|---|
| Conditions: | Cognitive Studies, Neurology |
| Therapuetic Areas: | Neurology, Psychiatry / Psychology |
| Healthy: | No |
| Age Range: | 45 - 70 |
| Updated: | 12/7/2016 |
| Start Date: | January 2006 |
| End Date: | December 2014 |
Our overall goal has been twofold: 1) to evaluate whether there are significant age-related
changes in flight simulator performance near age 60, and 2) to assess whether there is an
alternative model that can explain longitudinal flight simulator performance on the basis of
measures of cognitive function and expertise.

in aviator performance better than what could be predicted by chronological age alone.
