Task-based functional connectivity of the Useful Field of View (UFOV) fMRI task.

ABSTRACT: Declines in processing speed performance occur in aging and are a critical marker of functional independence in older adults. Numerous studies suggest that Useful Field of View (UFOV) training may ameliorate cognitive decline in older adults. Despite its efficacy, little is known about the neural correlates of this task. The current study is the first to investigate the coherence of functional connectivity during UFOV task completion. A total of 336 participants completed the UFOV task while undergoing task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Ten spherical regions of interest (ROIs), selected a priori, were created based on regions with the greatest peak BOLD activation patterns in the UFOV fMRI task and regions that have been shown to significantly relate to UFOV fMRI task
