Olsen's Tours and Training Blog

We now have driver training courses running in Brisbane much more frequently. Our courses include 4wd training for mining and exploration, 4wd training for recreation, government departments and corporations. Our Low Risk Driver  (once known as defensive driver) courses address driver behaviour, attitudes, awareness, motivations and skills. Cognifit fleet driver allows corporations to assess driver risk for existing and new drivers, and allows corporations to train cognitive brain skills to make better drivers.

Further weight of evidence re showing transfer of skills developed from computer based cognotive training into improvements in driving-related cognitive domains. The conclusion of the study “ Visual speed of processing training delivered on-site or at-home to middle-aged or older adults using standard home computers resulted in stabilization or improvement in several cognitive function tests. Widespread implementation of this intervention is feasible.”

Interesting points from the article:

• A study published in 2011 as part of a multi-year, government-funded trial, known as ACTIVE, showed that participants followed for six years had a 50% lower rate of motor-vehicle accidents following cognitive training.
