摘要：
The decline of physical function and cognitive ability of the elderly affects their ability to interact with mobile devices, and optimizing the interaction of mobile devices is an effective way to reduce the cognitive burden for the elderly. Accordingly, an improved pattern copy task combined with the subjective evaluation method was used to explore the influence of the input and feedback modes of mobile touch devices on the cognitive offloading for the elderly. The results showed that the main effect of input modes is significant, and the elderly are offloaded with more working memory under the stylus condition; the main effect of the feedback modes is significant, in which the elderly are offloaded with more working memory under the combined audiovisual feedback; both input and feedback modes affect the satisfaction of the elderly, and the elderly have the highest satisfaction with the combined stylus and audiovisual feedback. It was shown that the input and feedback modes of mobile touch devices are important factors affecting the cognitive offloading for the elderly. The conclusions provide an important reference for optimizing the interaction modes of mobile touch devices and reducing the cognitive burden for the elderly. © 2023 Northeast University.
