Performance on the NeuroRacer multitasking task declines progressively with age and improves with training. NeuroRacer dual‐task demonstrated a linear loss of performance on interference processing (“interference cost”) from 20 to 79 years of age. The interference cost improved with training in the older study participants (60–85 years old) in comparison to both an active control group and a no‐contact control group, attaining levels beyond those achieved by untrained 20‐year‐old participants.
