Abstract

The current study examined predictors of individual differences in the magnitude of practice-related improvements achieved by 87 older adults (mean_age 63.52 years) over 18-weeks of cognitive practice. Cognitive inconsistency in both baseline trial-to-trial reaction times and week-to-week accuracy scores was included as predictors of practice-related gains in two measures of processing speed. Conditional growth models revealed that both reaction time and accuracy level and rate-of-change in functioning were related to inconsistency, even after controlling for mean-level, but that increased inconsistency was negatively associated with accuracy versus positively associated with reaction time improvement. Cognitive inconsistency may signal dysregulation in the ability to control cognitive performance or may be indicative of adaptive attempts at functioning.

老年人认知不一致与实践相关学习。

目前的研究检查了87名老年人(平均63.52岁)在18周的认知练习中取得的与练习相关的改善程度的个体差异的预测因素。基线试验对试验反应时间和周对周准确度得分的认知不一致性被包括在两个处理速度测量中作为练习相关收益的预测因子。条件增长模型显示，即使在控制了平均水平之后，反应时间、准确性水平和功能变化率都与不一致性相关，但不一致性的增加与准确性呈负相关，而与反应时间的改善呈正相关。认知不一致可能是控制认知表现能力失调的信号，也可能是对功能的适应性尝试的指示。
