Age-related Longitudinal Changes in Aviator Performance

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01364753

Purpose

Our overall goal has been twofold: 1) to evaluate whether there are significant age-related changes in flight simulator performance near age 60, and 2) to assess whether there is an alternative model that can explain longitudinal flight simulator performance on the basis of measures of cognitive function and expertise.
