Working memory training shows modest improvements in reading comprehension for younger adults but not older adults, highlighting the need for ecologically valid measures in cognitive training programs.
Methods: Participants underwent a 5-day cognitive training program targeting visuo-spatial working memory to evaluate effects on reading comprehension as a proxy for everyday functions.
Key Findings: The relationship between visuo-spatial working memory improvements and reading comprehension performance across age groups.

The study examines factors that influence users' reliance on LLM responses, finding explanations increase reliance, while sources and inconsistent explanations reduce reliance on incorrect responses.
Methods: Think-aloud study followed by a pre-registered, controlled experiment to assess the impact of explanations, sources, and inconsistencies in LLM responses on user reliance.
Key Findings: Users' reliance on LLM responses, accuracy, and the influence of explanations, inconsistencies, and sources on these measures.

Older adults perceive artificial faces as equally trustworthy as real faces, unlike young adults who find artificial faces less trustworthy, and older adults show no difference in memory accuracy between face types.
Methods: Participants viewed real and artificial faces associated with scam or neutral conditions, then rated trustworthiness and were tested on associative memory.
Key Findings: Associative memory and perceived trustworthiness of real and artificial faces across young and older adults.

The study found that medical advice labeled as being sourced from AI (or AI supervised by humans) is perceived as less reliable and empathetic compared to advice labeled as originating solely from a human physician, resulting in reduced willingness to follow such advice.
Methods: Two preregistered studies were conducted where participants were presented with identical medical advice scenarios but with manipulated labels for the advice source ('AI', 'human physician', 'human+AI').
Key Findings: Participants' perceptions of reliability, empathy, and willingness to follow medical advice based on the perceived source.
