Description
Shenghao Zhang, Neil Charness, and Walter Boot test which thinking skills help older adults spot fraud, in work from twenty twenty-three. Past work blamed cognitive decline for elder fraud risk, but results were mixed. Clear skill targets could guide training that keeps older people safe.
Data came from more than two hundred cognitively normal adults with a mean age of seventy-two. Reasoning, memory, and processing speed were each measured with standard tests. Fraud detection was scored from ratings of ten short scam and non scam stories. Together the three skills explained a fair share of detection skill. No single skill stood out alone. A combined general ability factor did predict detection, with a medium effect.
