This study is a follow-up to our previous work (Wilkinson & Yang, 2016a), with an intention to examine the long-term maintenance of inhibition practice benefits and the associated near-near transfer effects over a 3.5-year period in older adults. Thirty-six participants from the original multiple task inhibition practice study (Wilkinson & Yang, 2016a), 18 from the practice and 18 from the control group, returned to complete a single follow-up session on the practice and the near-near transfer tasks. The results revealed that after a 3.5-year delay, older adults were able to retain practice benefits in both deletion (i.e., 2-Back) and restraint (i.e., Go-No Go) tasks. Furthermore, 44-65% of the original near-near transfer benefits were retained across all three inhibitory subfunctions at the follow-up session over baseline performance. The findings further extend the literature on the durability of practice and transfer effects of inhibition in older adults. Specifically, the current study demonstrates the long-term practice maintenance in some inhibitory subfunctions (e.g., deletion and restraint tasks) and highlights the retention of near-near transfer gains following a 3.5-year delay in older adults.

老年人多任务抑制实践和转移效果的长期维持：3.5年的随访。

这项研究是我们先前工作的后续研究（Wilkinson＆Yang，2016a），旨在研究老年人在3.5年内长期保持抑制实践的益处以及相关的近乎近距离的转移效应。 。原始多任务抑制实践研究的36名参与者（Wilkinson＆Yang，2016a），该实践的18名参与者和对照组的18名参与者返回以完成有关该行为和近乎转移任务的单个后续会议。结果显示，经过3.5年的延误，老年人能够在删除（即2-Back）和克制（即Go-No Go）任务中保留练习益处。此外，在随访过程中，相对于基线表现，所有三个抑制性亚功能保留了原始的近乎转移收益的44-65％。这些发现进一步扩展了有关实践的持久性和老年人抑制作用的转移的文献。具体而言，当前的研究证明了某些抑制性亚功能（例如删除和约束任务）的长期实践维持，并着重指出了在延迟了3.5年的老年人中保留了近乎近的转移收益。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
