  • Mayhorn, Christopher B.; Rogers, Wendy A.; Echt, Katharina V. (2017) : Designing technology for older adults: Augmenting usefulness and usability via cognitive support In: Kwon, Sunkyo: Gerontechnology: Research, practice, and principles in the field of technology and aging: New York, NY: Springer Publishing Company, S. 389-416

    Abstract: To fully explore why age discrepancies in technology use have been observed, we describe how older adults conceptualize usefulness and how usability can be empirically measured. Because cognitive changes that co-occur with age can influence technology-related task performance, which in turn may either augment or reduce perceived usefulness and usability, we also discuss the importance of designing technology to provide cognitive and environmental support. Such supportive design is key in developing technology that older adults want to use, which furthers understanding of how age-related cognitive changes should be considered during the technology design process. Furthermore, this approach identifies research questions that should benefit from further empirical investigation. We focus on what is known about three predictor variables (i.e., usefulness, usability, and cognition) that deserve special consideration when designing technology for older adults’ use. To accomplish this goal, three approaches with examples are described in this chapter. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
