Psychology and Aging: Enhancing the Lives of an Aging Population
Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2002
A pressing need for upcoming decades is ensuring that older adults, who constitute an increasing percentage of the population, are able to function independently and maintain an acceptable quality of life. One important concern is the usability of new technologies. Unfortunately, the science that could direct proper design and implementation of current and future technological advancement is underdeveloped and less mature than the engineering that supports technological advancement. We review data documenting age-related usability issues and how psychological science can remedy such problems. We also outline how training principles can be applied to older adults. We conclude that psychological science has much to contribute to the goal of enhancing the lives of older adults.
It's about Time: Let's Do More to Support the Process of Aging (vs. the State of Being “Old”)
Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Focus on aging as a process vs. (old) age as a state of life. How do needs for supporting information and information tools change through the years of a person's adult life? Of special interest in the context of successful aging are innovations that are better for all adults but work even better for people as they age. To identify innovations that "age well", begin by routinely sampling across a spectrum of adult ages, both in studies of current tool use (e.g., observations, interviews, surveys) and design alternatives. As a further step, cross age with other factors. Less formal methods involving forms of group deliberation can also elucidate age-related changes in the landscape of information need. A focus on the process of aging (vs. "old age") is inclusive of people across the decades of their adult lives.

2007
WORKSHOPS and SYMPOSIA (alphabetical order) WORKSHOP: Dementia Assessment 101 Broome, A.S., Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane TIME: Stream B, 1:30 Thursday afternoon Psychologists working with older adults and those working in regional and rural areas are increasingly asked to perform assessments of clients suspected of suffering from dementia, irrespective of the clinician‟s training or specialty. This workshop aims to provide introductory skills in the area of dementia assessment for non-Neuropsychologists, or for Neuropsychologists who have not yet worked in the area of dementia. The core clinical and pathological features of different common types of dementia will be described, and the salient aspects of clinical history taking will be outlined in each case. Useful standardized questionnaires for history gathering and evaluation will be considered, and selection and application of suitable cognitive tests will be illustrated via case scenarios. Aspects of report writing part...
