Enabling older adults to interact with new technologies is an important immediate and long-term goal for training research. The literature provides general guidance for developing training programs; however, it is important to determine the type of training that works best for younger and older adults, for immediate performance, and for learning. In the present study we assessed the relative benefits of guided action training and guided attention training for younger and older adults learning to use a novel technology system. Guided action training yielded better performance during training for both age groups. However, assessments of learning revealed a clear benefit of guided attention training for both age groups. These data suggest differences in training benefits for immediate performance versus more general learning.
让老年人与新技术互动是培训研究的一个重要的近期和长期目标。文献为制定培训计划提供了一般指导；然而，确定哪种培训方式对年轻人和老年人最有效、对即时表现和学习最有效很重要。在本研究中，我们评估了引导行动训练和引导注意力训练对学习使用新技术系统的年轻人和老年人的相对益处。引导行动训练在两个年龄组的训练过程中都产生了更好的表现。然而，学习评估显示引导注意力训练对两个年龄组都有明显益处。这些数据表明即时表现与更普遍学习在培训益处方面存在差异。
