| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The human interface of mobile devices imposes a high cognitive load on older adults when they operate such devices, owing to cognitive ageing. When developing such mobile systems for older adults, we need to consider the cognitive load. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the working memory capacity (WMC) and cognitive load on mobile device interface of older adults. I suggest that the cognitive load imposed by touch interfaces differs according to the WMC of older adults. Therefore, it is important to consider the cognitive load and the individual differences in WMC when developing mobile systems for older adults.
