The results indicated that the younger participants balanced a significantly greater number of transactions than the middle-aged and older participants and that the performance of the middle-aged participants was significantly better than the older participants but only on the 3rd work day. Significant differences between younger and older participants were also observed for transaction completion times and rates of improvement. Predictor models ...
