“…Fortunately, cognitive training, specifically speed of processing training, improves on-road driving performance (Roenker et al, 2003); prolongs driving mobility (Edwards et al, 2009c); reduces rates of driving cessation (Edwards et al, 2009a); and reduces at-fault motor vehicle crash involvement (Ball et al, 2010). This intervention has shown potential efficacy in HF as well (Ellis et al, 2014). …”

Cognitive dysfunction is a predictor of driving cessation in older adults and a common sequela of heart failure (HF). Although HF has been associated with an increased risk of driving cessation, the independent relationship between HF and driving cessation after cognitive function is considered remains to be established. The objective of these analyses is to examine HF as an independent predictor of driving cessation across three years among a cohort of older drivers in the United States. Analyses included 850 older adults who completed sensory, cognitive, and physical measures at baseline and mobility and health measures at a three-year follow-up. Cox regression was used to examine the effects of HF, stroke, vision, cognition, and physical function as predictors of incident driving cessation over three years. Participants with HF were over three times more likely to cease driving, HR = 3.19, 95% CI [1.27, 8.02], p = .014. However, HF was no longer a significant predictor of driving cessation when cognitive performance was considered, HR = 1.70, 95% CI [0.67, 4.30], p = .262. These findings suggest that the risk of driving cessation may be a consequence of the cognitive dysfunction associated with HF, rather than from HF itself. Cognitive training should be investigated among persons with HF to potentially prolong driving mobility.

Skill Acquisition and Training: Achieving Expertise in Simple and Complex Tasks describes the building blocks of cognitive, motor, and teamwork skills, and the factors to take into account in training them. The basic processes of perception, cognition, and action that provide the foundation for understanding skilled performance are discussed in the context of complex task requirements, individual differences, and extreme environmental demands. The role of attention in perceiving, selecting, and becoming aware of information, in learning new information, and in performance is described in the context of specific skills.A theme throughout this book is that much learning is implicit; the types of knowledge and relations that can profitably be learned implicitly and the conditions under which this learning benefits performance are discussed. The question of whether skill acquisition in cognitive domains shares underlying mechanisms with the acquisition of perceptual and motor skills is also addressed with a view to identifying commonalities that allow for widely applicable, general theories of skill acquisition. Because the complexity of real-world environments puts demands on the individual to adapt to new circumstances, the question of how skills research can be applied to organizational training contexts is an important one. To address this, this book dedicates much of its content to practical applications, covering such issues as how training needs can be captured with task and job analyses, and how to maximize training transfer by taking trainee self-efficacy and goal orientation into account.This comprehensive yet readable textbook is optimized for students of cognitive psychology looking to understand the intricacies of skill acquisition, while being accessible to a range of students and practitioners.

“…The physical and cognitive demands of the illness become so complex that cardiac patients can perform fewer and fewer cognitively challenging tasks over time [10]. Cognitive impairment in cardiac patients has been associated with (a) reduced likelihood to make appropriate self-decisions, (b) decreased self-care, (c) reduced ability to make medical decisions, (d) poor compliance with medication and (f) increased associated costs [11,12]. Overall, these affect the day to day functional capacity of such patients and reduce their health-related Quality of Life (QOL).…”

“…Cognitive retraining interventions hold remarkable promise for not only improving cognitive functioning in cardiac patients but also transferring the training to functional outcomes. The importance of memory (especially prospective memory) and speed of processing in planning and executing daily tasks is altogether well known [11]. These abilities are based on some basic cognitive functions of attention and concentration, memory, working memory and executive function which need to be intact in order to work together to further aid individuals in carrying out everyday tasks [11].…”

Cognitive deficits pose serious challenges for cardiac patients. Various paper-pencil and computerized intervention paradigms have been developed and explored in pilot and feasibility studies. However, they are limited in scope and applicability. Therefore, there is a growing need to develop and standardize cognitive retraining activities that address all affected domains in the different cardiac conditions and ensure functional independence.

Effects of Cognitive Speed of Processing Training Among Older Adults With Heart Failure

Abstract: Results indicate that speed of processing training may improve everyday cognitive performance among older adults with HF. Future studies should investigate the longitudinal effects of cognitive training with HF patients.
