Differential Item Functioning Related to Age in the Reading Subtest of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults by Raymond L. Ownby, Drenna Waldrop-Valverde

“…Based on observations when administering the test, we developed the hypothesis that some items on the reading comprehension subtest of the Test of Functional Health Literacy (TOFHLA) might be differentially more difficult for older adults and the elderly due to its use of the cloze response format, in which the participant is required to determine what word, when placed in a blank space in a sentence, will ensure that the sentence is intelligible. …”

Is functional training functional? a systematic review of its effects in community-dwelling older adults by Chiung-ju Liu, Wen-Pin Chang, Yun Chan Shin, Yi-Ling Hu, Jane Morgan-Daniel

“…Abstract Background Age-related decline in physical and cognitive capacity increases older adults’ risk of disability, long-term care placement, and mortality rate. Functional training, which uses activities of daily living or simulated movements to complete activities as the intervention medium, could be more effective than rote exercise, which uses repetitive movements without added purpose, in preventing late-life disability in older people. …”
