Abstract

Objectives: Cognitive tasks in dual-task (DT) tests can be either driven mainly by the environmental demands (an" environment-driven" mode of control) or guided mainly by the individual (a "self-generated" mode of control). Two new DT tests were conducted to determine the effect of cognitive task types (self-generated vs. environment-driven) on cognitive and motor interference in DT.

Methods: An exploratory study was conducted with 17 older adults (OLD) and 15 adults (YOUNG) who completed three single-task (ST) tests - motor, cognitive environment-driven, cognitive self-generated - and 2 DT tests. Cognitive and motor DT Effect (DTE) were calculated.

Results: The self-generated DTE was greater in the motor task than in cognitive tasks, especially for the OLD group. There was no difference for the environment-driven DTE. In the motor task, the self-generated task created more interference than the environment-driven task for all groups, but this was not the case for the cognitive task.

Conclusions: Some ideas were devised for creating interference-efficient tests, like using cognitive self-generated and motor complex tasks. The study confirmed previous results on gait tasks with new information on motor complex tasks.

理解认知-运动双任务表现中的年龄相关干扰：一种新方法。

目的：双任务测试中的认知任务可以主要由环境需求驱动（一种“环境驱动”的控制模式），也可以主要由个人引导（一种“自我产生”的控制模式）。为了确定认知任务类型（自我生成与环境驱动）对认知和运动干扰的影响，我们进行了两个新的DT测试。方法：对17名老年人（OLD）和15名成年人（YOUNG）进行了一项探索性研究，他们完成了3项单任务（ST）测试——运动测试、认知环境驱动测试、认知自我生成测试和2项DT测试。计算认知和运动DT效应（DTE）。结果：在运动任务中自我产生的DTE大于认知任务，特别是在OLD组。对于环境驱动的DTE，没有差异。在运动任务中，自发任务比环境驱动任务产生更多的干扰，但在认知任务中并非如此。结论：设计了一些想法来创建干扰有效的测试，如使用认知自我生成和运动复杂任务。这项研究证实了先前关于步态任务的结果，并提供了关于运动复杂任务的新信息。

期刊介绍： Experimental Aging Research is a life span developmental and aging journal dealing with research on the aging process from a psychological and psychobiological perspective. It meets the need for a scholarly journal with refereed scientific papers dealing with age differences and age changes at any point in the adult life span. Areas of major focus include experimental psychology, neuropsychology, psychobiology, work research, ergonomics, and behavioral medicine. Original research, book reviews, monographs, and papers covering special topics are published.
