Smither, Janan Al-Awar, Piccione, Frances and Braun, Curt C. (1995): Computer Displays and Older Adults. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 960.

“The present study investigated the effects of enhanced visual displays on the reading speed and comprehension of younger and older adults. The findings indicated that when the characteristics of the display medium accommodated visual declines related to aging no differences in performance between the two age-groups were detected. Findings of the present study suggest that some of the factors that contribute to the poor performance of older adults in HCI research may be related to the use of software that does not accommodate for age-related visual declines. Future research investigating age-related differences in computer performance should take the readability of the screen into account.”
