Supports dual-task training for attentional control across ages; extends evidence of preserved cognitive plasticity in late adulthood.
Does dual-task training improve performance on untrained dual-task transfer conditions in younger and older adults?
Dual-task training leads to cross-modality transfer in untrained tasks, supporting the notion that cognitive plasticity for attentional control is preserved in late adulthood.
Lussier et al. (2012) studied this question.
