Descripción detallada
If participants agree to participate in the study by signing the informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned (similar to flipping a coin) to one of the two video game cognitive exercise groups. The only difference between these two groups is the intensity of training on reaction time to video game events.
participants will complete questionnaires (socio-demographic information, four short cognitive assessments) and a driving assessment using a high-fidelity motion-based virtual reality driving simulator in the UAB Driver Simulation Lab at baseline. After completing the baseline cognitive and driving evaluations, participants will receive an electronic tablet loaded with access to the assigned video game program and a workbook with instructions and explanations. A staff member will assist participants in logging in, demonstrate the video game cognitive exercises, and show participants how to play a trial game session.
At home, participants will complete 30-minute video game-based cognitive exercises twice weekly for 10 weeks (20 sessions, totaling 10 hours). The software will automatically record the actual session duration. One week after the baseline appointment, the staff will contact participants to address any technical problems. The staff will then contact participants monthly to monitor progress and answer study-related questions.
After the 10-week video game cognitive exercise program, participants will be invited to the UAB Driver Simulation Lab to complete the four short cognitive assessments and a driving assessment as participants did 10 weeks ago.

Experimental: Speed of Processing Training
The training is the game-based cognitive exercises that involve the speed and accuracy of visual information processing and enhance divided attention between central and peripheral stimuli and among peripheral stimuli when distractors are present.

Comparador falso: Home-Based Sham Training
The sham condition includes five interactive video game activities that are self-paced, non-adaptive, and not designed to affect processing speed.

Useful Field of View
Periodo de tiempo: change from baseline in speed of processing at 10 weeks
|
Useful Field of View (UFOV) examines visual attention and memory that require rapid recognition and response to simultaneous demands in both the central and peripheral visual fields.
The test consists of four increasingly complex subtests.
In each subtest, stimulus presentations ranging from 17-500 milliseconds are displayed to determine the speed at which visual information is processed.
In each subtest, a double staircase method is used to determine the presentation speed at which participants correctly complete the task 75% of the time.
Lower scores (fewer milliseconds to correctly perceive the target) reflect faster SOP.
