在这个项目中，六个小组从感知，认知和心理功能的几个方面调查了使用IT设备的老化影响。(1)数据库组通过综合其他组的结果，提出了适当的IT设备设计指导。(2)知觉与注意组采用行为学数据和问卷调查两种方法考察了注意抑制功能的年龄效应，并指出了两种方法在老年人中的差异。(3)心智模型组表示使用资讯科技设备时心智模型建构程度的老化效应。(4)错误组采用汉字选择任务考察一种错误重复现象，并考察老年人任务转换的特点。(5)电机输出组根据双任务性能的结果提出了车辆接口的合理配置。(6)社会心理组的研究结果揭示了老年人使用IT设备的老化特征，并将其分为五种模式，六个研究组的研究结果揭示了老化和脑力负荷对IT设备使用的影响。

In this project, six groups have investigated the aging effects on using IT devices from several aspects of the perceptual, cognitive, and psychological function. (1) Database group proposed an appropriate guidance for designs of IT devices by integrating the results of other groups. (2) Perception and attention group examined the aging effect on the inhibition function of attention by both the behavioral data and the questionnaires and indicated the discrepancy of the result of each method in aged people. (3) Mental model group indicated the aging effect on the construction level of a mental model while using IT devices. (4) Error group used kanji selection task to examine an error repetition phenomenon and investigated the characteristics of the task switching for elderly people. (5) Motor-output group proposed the proper configuration of the interfaces in vehicles based on the result of dual task performance. (6) social-psychological group revealed the characteristics of aging when aged people used IT devices broken into five patterns by using interview method.These findings by six research groups revealed the influence of aging and mental workload on the use of IT devices.
