Abstract

BACKGROUND: Older adults exhibit declines in auditory and motor functioning, which are compensated for through the recruitment of cognitive resources. Cognitive or physical training alone has been shown to improve cognitive functioning and transfer to motor tasks, but results are mixed when these are combined in studies of healthy older adults, and few studies have included those with age-related hearing loss (ARHL), who are at a higher risk of falls.

RESEARCH QUESTION: To examine format effects in mixed training, we used a repeated measures intervention design to compare the efficacy of Simultaneous and Sequential multimodal training formats.

METHODS: 42 older adults (Mage?=?68.05, SDage?=?4.65, females?=?26) with (ARHL) and without hearing loss (OAH) completed an intervention study consisting of 12 sessions of multimodal training (computerized cognitive dual-task and recumbent aerobic cycling). Participants were randomly assigned to either the Simultaneous (concurrent cognitive and aerobic) or Sequential training group (cognitive followed by aerobic) and completed assessments of single- and dual-task mobility concurrent with an auditory working memory task. Training gains were assessed with repeated measures ANOVAs using magnitude of improvement from pre- to post-training on primary outcome measures as the dependent variable.

RESULTS: Gains in auditory working memory were greater in the Sequential group than Simultaneous particularly among OAH. ARHL participants were unaffected by format. While all participants improved on a measure of chair rises, there was no benefit to standing balance. The results demonstrate an advantage to Sequential training, suggesting a benefit to focusing on each task in isolation.

SIGNIFICANCE: The gains noted in the ARHL indicate the potential benefit of incorporating cognitive remediation into traditional audiological rehabilitation. Moreover, it is important to consider the cost of dividing attention when combining training.
