AnnotationLooks at the possible use of training and cognitive tests to improve driving performance and accident prevention in older adults. These include a Useful Field of View (UFOV) test, a Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT/VC), a Delayed Recall test and a Maze test. These tests have already been rolled out at some local driver assessment centres across the UK, which have been positively received by older people. (JL).
