Learning in Older Adults

Picture
The Cognitive-Communication Rehabilitation Lab at the University of Georgia is inviting older adults for a research study examining learning and engagement with fall prevention education. Specifically, we are looking for participants who:

  • are between the age of 65 to 115, both with and without a history of traumatic brain injury
  • able to speak, read, and write in English with a high degree of fluency,
  • able to sit upright for two hours at a time,
  • able to see text and images in print at approximately 20 inches,
  • have independent transportation to and from the UGA campus,
  • have no hearing impairment beyond what is correctable via hearing aid,
  • have no previous diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias​
The study will ask you about your general health (sleep, physical activity, social, engagement), health beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions, and cognitive function. This is a two-part study. The first part will be on the UGA main campus at Aderhold Hall and will take up to 2.5 hours. The second part will be virtual and will take 30-90 minutes. There are no risks to your health, although you could become bored or tired. There is no direct benefit to you for taking part in this study. Your participation is helpful for understanding how older adults’ engagement and implement fall prevention education.
