A long-term research study followed over 900 older adults for five years and saw those who trained with Posit Science’s speed-of-processing technology reduced at-fault crash by 50%.

Our eyes take in a lot of information from the world, but limitations in brain processing means that we can only pay attention to a small portion of it. As a consequence we often fail to notice important information that is clearly in our field of view because our attention is focused elsewhere. One compelling [...]

The evidence in favor of brain training just keeps rolling in: even a small amount of brain training in brain fitness software like InSight or DriveSharp can cut the crash risk of older driver’s in half. Don’t believe me? Check at this recent study presented at this year’s annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board [...]

Cognitive ability is a critical measure of safe driving … understanding that point the way toward improving our ability to deal with the many distractions beyond texting that we can’t eliminate or legislate.

I am disappointed that distracted driving has been myopically defined as “texting while driving” … we are missing an opportunity to make a dent in the 6 million annual crashes in the US.

In my view the most impressive outcome from a cognitive training study is the 51% reduction in at-fault crash rates found in the ACTIVE study. ACTIVE is an acronym for Advanced Cognitive Training in the Independent and Vital Elderly. It is the largest clinical trial to examine the effects of cognitive training with almost 3000 [...]
