Martin Lavallière, Ph.D. is a professor of kinesiology at theDepartment of health sciences at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) since August 2016.Dr. Lavallière brings extensive knowledge in human motor control and learning and human movement analysis experience. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in kinesiology from Université Laval (Québec, Canada). During his Ph.D., his works aimed at evaluating whether an in-simulator-based training program combined with driving specific feedbacks can improve on-road driving behaviors in older drivers. He also evaluated the impact of similar training with people who suffered from traumatic brain injury.He then completed a postdoctoral fellow at the MIT AgeLab from May 2013 to April 2015. While at the lab, his research focused on the impact on driving performance of aging, navigation and communication technologies and active safety system in vehicles. He also worked on the development of a Multigenerational Workforce evaluation program to evaluate the “age readiness” of industries. From May 2015 to July 2016, he completed a second postdoctoral fellow at HEC Montréal working on the impact road collisions have on workers. Since then, he has completed numerous projects working closely with emergency respondents and public safety agencies to address this importance topic in health and safety.He currently served as a board member of the Quebec national board of road safety (RRSR), the Canadian Association of Road Safety Professional (CARSP) and on different ISO committees in regards to driving and human-machine interface.

Tools such as this Age Suit offer the opportunity to "walk a mile" in another's shoes to develop empathy that can result in better design of spaces, goods, and services to meet the needs of a rapidly growing older population. This work first examined, through a series of clinical tests, whether younger adults' physical capacities were reduced in a direction consistent with aging by wearing a suit developed by the MIT AgeLab. An experiential learning task was then completed with the suit to understand its impact on completion of an instrumental activity of daily living. Results showed that younger adults wearing the suit experienced changes in task performance consistent with expected changes associated with aging. Participants' self-reports from the experiential learning task indicated that they were able to empathize with older adults regarding some issues they face while completing a grocery shopping task. Future research with the suit should involve a wider range of individuals from the population and examine what effect participants' levels of fitness have on the experience of wearing the suit.

Secondary cognitive demand decreased the likelihood of ...
