本文将认知衰老研究中的实验室与生活差距视为发展研究中生态有效性的一个重要问题。尽管在实验室认知任务上存在与年龄相关的缺陷，但老年人通常能够胜任复杂的日常情况。因此，基于实验室的认知任务在多大程度上可以预测老年人的现实生活结果？我们的审查表明，尽管日常认知能力的测量很相似，但它们可以预测基本测量之外的相关结果。我们就日常认知测试在不断变化的世界中的相关性、日常认知评估的新方法以及日常认知是否可以改善等关键问题提供了我们的观点。
This article addresses the lab-life gap in cognitive aging research as an important issue of ecological validity in developmental research. Older adults often function competently in complex everyday situations despite age-related deficits on laboratory-based cognitive tasks. Therefore, to what extent do lab-based cognitive tasks predict real-life outcomes in older adults? Our review shows that although they are similar, measures of everyday cognitive competence predict relevant outcomes beyond basic measures. We provide our perspective on critical questions concerning the relevance of everyday cognitive tests in our ever-changing world, new methods of everyday cognitive assessment, and whether everyday cognition can be improved.
