Abstract

Everyday cognition refers to the ability of individuals to solve cognitively complex real-world or “everyday” problems. Specifically, studies of everyday cognition focus on assessing the real-world manifestation of basic cognitive abilities such as memory, reasoning, knowledge, and processing speed by testing older adults’ ability to solve problems using ecologically valid stimuli such as a medication label or food nutrition label.
