Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Technology represents advances in knowledge that change the way humans perform tasks. Ideally, technology will make the task easier, more efficient, safer, or perhaps more pleasurable. Unfortunately, new technologies can sometimes make a task more difficult, slower, dangerous, or perhaps more frustrating. Older adults interact with a variety of technologies in the course of their daily activities and thus products should be designed to be used by people of varying ages. METHODS: In this article, we provide an overview of what psychology has to offer to the design of technology-from understanding what people need, to identifying their preferences for design characteristics, and to defining their capabilities and limitations that will influence technology interactions. RESULTS: We identify how research in the field of psychology and aging has advanced understanding of technology interactions and how research on technology interactions can inform theories of aging. DISCUSSION: Design for aging involves understanding the unique capabilities and limitations of older adults; identifying their needs, preferences, and desires for technology in their lives; and involving them in the design process.

    The specificity of feedback influenced the success of the coach-nonspecific information (an error has occurred) yielded worse performance than either specific procedure feedback (turn the test strip over) or specific conceptual feedback (the pink side must face up).

    Both age groups showed less reliance when a system made a false alarm than a miss; older adults showed the most overreliance on a system that tended to miss critical events.

    “Both age groups showed less reliance when a system made a false alarm (i.e., indicated a problem that did not exist) than a miss (i.e., did not alert the user to a problem); however, older adults showed the most over reliance on a system that tended to miss critical events (Johnson, Sanchez, Fisk, & Rogers, 2004 ).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.

Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
