  • Age Related Changes of Spontaneous Eyeblink Rates in Visually Shielded Pegboard Task

    Nakajima Sawako, Yamachika Yurie, Kuroki Miho, Sato Mitsuru, Yamashika Kazuhiko, Masakado Yoshihisa, Mitobe Kazutaka

    The Transactions of Human Interface Society ( Human Interface Society )  19 ( 1 ) 29 - 32   2017

    To evaluate efficacy of spontaneous eyeblink rates to estimate the cognitive functions and sensorimotor abilities of elderly people in handling information devices, two kinds of setups composed of pegboard were constructed. Eyeblink rates observed in normal condition of controlling pegs was significantly decreased and that in condition of controlling pegs without visual information about hands and front arms was significantly increased in comparison with that in rest condition. Further analysis for latter condition revealed the significant negative correlations between age and eyeblink rates. Based on these findings, potential of eyeblink information to detect age related cognitive change was discussed.
