My presentation aimed to explain the different levels of automation, level 3 (L3) or partially automated driving, and its use in virtual reality (driving simulation) as a measure of real-life cognitive function.
As our second objective; we are trying to explain cognitive workload as a separate construct of cognitive functioning in older adults with and without preclinical Alzheimer’s disease.
By the end of our presentation, our audiences will be able to define the concept of cognitive workload in older adults with and without preclinical Alzheimer's Disease.

Learning Objectives:

Explain cognitive workload as a separate construct of cognitive functioning in older adults with and without preclinical Alzheimer’s disease
Define the concept of cognitive workload in older adults with and without preclinical Alzheimer's Disease
