Implication

Observational analysis reveals cognitive load influences postural stability in younger and older adults, suggesting implications for task performance.

Key Points

Postural stability was significantly affected by cognitive load across younger and older adults.
Older adults showed heightened cognitive load as measured by postural stability compared to younger adults.
Participants performed an arrow task on a force platform under varying cognitive loads and prospective memory conditions.
This highlights the importance of postural stability as a non-invasive indicator of cognitive load.
