Abstract

The population is aging and a subset of older adults will have some level of cognitive impairment. Human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) practitioners must consider them in the design process but often are not prepared to do so, lacking relevant experience or training. In this panel, an interdisciplinary team with expertise in aging, in general, and cognitive impairment, in particular, will (a) provide insights into cognitive challenges confronting older adults with cognitive impairments; (b) discuss impacts of these challenges on everyday performance (e.g., transportation, computer use, health); (c) explore the design cycle as it relates to cognitive impairment; and (d) provide examples of accommodations necessary for research and user testing for this population. Interactive audience discussion will focus on future directions and challenges for design and testing of emerging technologies for persons aging with cognitive impairment. This panel will be of interest to a broad range of HF/E domains.

老年人认知障碍设计:小组讨论

人口正在老龄化，一部分老年人会有一定程度的认知障碍。人为因素/人体工程学(HF/E)从业者必须在设计过程中考虑这些因素，但往往没有准备好这样做，缺乏相关经验或培训。在这个小组中，一个跨学科的团队，他们在老龄化，特别是认知障碍方面具有专业知识，将(a)提供认知障碍老年人面临的认知挑战的见解;(b)讨论这些挑战对日常表现(例如交通、计算机使用、健康)的影响;(c)探索与认知障碍有关的设计周期;(d)为这一人群提供研究和用户测试所需的住宿示例。互动观众讨论将集中在未来的方向和挑战的设计和测试的新兴技术，为老年人的认知障碍。该小组将对广泛的高频/E域感兴趣。
