ADULT DEVELOPMENTAL EYE MOVEMENT TEST (A-DEM) with OLDER ADULTS
نویسنده
چکیده
The Developmental Eye Movement Test (DEM) is a standardized test for evaluating saccadic eye movements in children. An adult version, the Adult Developmental Eye Movement Test (A-DEM), was recently developed for Spanish-speaking adults ages 14 to 68. No version yet exists for adults over the age of 68 and normative studies for English-speaking adults are absent. However, it is not clear if the single-digit format of the DEM or the double-digit A-DEM format should be used for further test develop-

The Developmental Eye Movement test (DEM), is standardized and designed for evaluating oculomotor behavior in children, under 14 years of age. In this study we sought to create a version to be used above the age of 14 by using double rather than single digits. This resulted in twice the amount of numbers to be called out during the test. We administered this modified version for adults (A-DEM) ...

متن کاملMotor Learning and Movement Performance: Older versus Younger Adults
Introduction: Motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. Methods: Serial Reaction Time Test (SRTT) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. Participants were tested i...
