(Rothwell, Sterns, et al. (2008): General Considerations (Declines in…

- - - - Maurer et al. (2003): Compared to YA, OA need to perceive that training will benefit their performance and standing within her work place. Despite this, situational and motivational factors were the best predictors of training outcome.
      - Cjaza (2006): OA show greater discounting curves towards job training relative to YA. This may be associated with the groups emotional decision making (i.e. SST) or barriers and stigma associated with working as an OA.
  - - - Identify what skills should be targeted in the training program
      - Identify where training is necessary
      - Identify who should be trained.
    - - Analyze: Identify the characteristics of the worker base and task to be completed. For OA, this may entail an analysis of the typical status the OA group of the workforce (e.g. average SES and access to healthcare), and include factors such as normative declines in perceptual and cognitive abilities as well as typical social structure.
      - Design: Identifies the instructional solutions and training objectives
      - Develop: Applies design principles and involves the creat of materials or acquisition of existing materials. These materials must be sensitive to declines in cognitive and perceptual abilities as well as familiarity with training modality (e.g. e-training, active learning)
      - Implement: Represents the delivery or facilitation of instructions. OA may prefer to participate in group sessions with individuals of their own age to avoid stigma.
      - Evaluate: Identify successes and failures of implemented training design and alter existing protocols to improve subsequent implementations if necessary.
- - - - Provided that OA receive approximately 1/3 of the light to their retina relative to YA, issues of luminance and glare are critical form maximizing workplace productivity.
      - Screen stands should be adjustable and should lie 30 degrees below the line of sight
    - - Similar outcomes for comfortable keyboards
    - - Patterns of training improvement showed invariance in technique moderation (computer-based training, instructor-based training, and manual-based training)
      - Training effects are generally achieved at a slower pace compared to YA so training protocols need to be flexible and self-paced
    - - Carroll and Carrithers (1984): For older adults, creating graphical user interfaces that are sensitive to OAs' reduced working memory capacities can allow for faster learning curves and better mastery.
    - - Generally, these judgments are not associated with performance. However, they may act as to limit the likelihood that OA will engage in training and educational programs.
