Brain training and accident prevention
As we get older, the brain’s performance deteriorates. This applies, in particular, to fluid cognitive functions such as attention, concentration or the speed at which information is processed.
These functions provide a link between the sensory system and motor functions and are thus indispensable for complex perceptual processes and for planning and controlling what you do. When these functions deteriorate as a result of aging, the risk of having accidents both at home and on the roads increases. For example, older drivers are particularly at risk of having an accident at large, complex intersections. These impose particularly high demands on temporal and spatial perception, attentiveness and working memory.
