| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed basic study for the development of interfaces that require little cognitive load on aged persons when operating information and communication technology devices (cell phones, smart phones, tablet terminals, etc.). Specifically, among cognitive functions that decline with advancing age, we focused on visual attention, working memory, and executive functions when creating evaluation tasks with variable parameters for an interface, including number of possible selections, number of operating steps, language-based and non-language messages, etc.; we then clarified the information-processing processes employed in task execution. Further, using subjective, behavioral, and physiological indices, we also developed methods for evaluating information-processing processes.
