Human cognitive and motor processing time in the aging workforce: An objective parameters-based model

In the digital society, recent studies showed that individuals have to perform tasks based on the information gathered by a huge amount of data and effectively use them to express their cognitive and motor abilities. The cognitive task is considered a job with prevalent cognitive demand; on the contrary, a motor task is a job with a prevalent physical need. The model allows evaluating motor (MT) and/or cognitive (CT) performance time based on the individual parameters (i.e., age, sex, and state of health). The effectiveness of the model on a numerical case study is tested. The work conducted proved that it is possible to predict a general motor-cognitive task's processing time based on objective parameters allowing to take account of the difference between individuals of different ages and sex.
