Factors Predicting the Use of Technology: Findings From the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE)

TL;DR: This article found that older adults were less likely than younger adults to use technology in general, computers, and the World Wide Web, and that computer anxiety, fluid intelligence, and crystallized intelligence were important predictors of the use of technology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development: Can the Functional Capacity of Older Adults Be Preserved and Enhanced?

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that activities can postpone decline, attenuate decline, or provide prosthetic benefit in the face of normative cognitive decline, while at the same time indicating that late-life cognitive changes can result in curtailment of activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There was a relationship between changes in intellectually related activities and changes in cognitive functioning and these results are consistent with the hypothesis that intellectually engaging activities serve to buffer individuals against decline.

Predicting the use of technology: Findings from the center for research and education on aging and technology enhancement (CREATE)

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the older adults were less likely than younger adults to use technology in general, computers, and the World Wide Web and the relationship between age and adoption of technology was mediated by cognitive abilities, computer self-efficacy, and computer anxiety.

A multivariate model of gender differences in adolescents' internalizing and externalizing problems.

TL;DR: A multivariate theoretical model of the moderating effects of gender on internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescence is tested and finds that girls' internalizing symptoms, compared with boys', were partly explained by greater stability in girls' interpersonal vulnerabilities and greater magnitude in coefficients linking girls' relationships with parents and peers and internalizing problems.
