Cognitive Training Decreases Motor Vehicle Collision Involvement of Older Drivers
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: To test the effects of cognitive training on subsequent motor vehicle collision (MVC) involvement of older drivers. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, multisite, single‐blind clinical trial. SETTING: Community‐dwelling seniors at four U.S. sites: Birmingham, Alabama; Baltimore, Maryland; Indianapolis, Indiana; and State College, Pennsylvania. PARTICIPANTS: Nine hundred eight older drivers (mean age 73.1; 18.6% African American) who were randomized to one of three cognitive interventions or a control condition. INTERVENTIONS: Up to 10 sessions of cognitive training for memory, reasoning, or speed of processing. MEASUREMENTS: State‐recorded MVC involvement up to 6 years after study enrollment. RESULTS: Speed‐of‐processing and reasoning training resulted in lower rates of at‐fault collision involvement over the subsequent approximately 6‐year period than controls. After adjusting for age, sex, race, education, mental status, health, vision, depressive symptoms, and testing site, participants randomized to the speed‐of‐processing and reasoning interventions had an approximately 50% lower rate (per person‐mile) of at‐fault MVCs than the control group (rate ratio (RR)=0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.34–0.96 for speed of processing), and (RR=0.50, 95% CI=0.27–0.92 for reasoning). There was no significant difference observed for the memory group. CONCLUSION: Cognitive speed‐of‐processing and reasoning training resulted in a lower at‐fault MVC rate in older drivers than in controls. Considering the importance of driving mobility, the costs of crashes, and the benefits of cognitive training, these interventions have great potential to sustain independence and quality of life of older adults. More research is needed to understand the effects of different types and quantities of training.

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.
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.
