摘要:

ABSTRACTOlder, relative to younger, adults may be disadvantaged on typical laboratory memory tasks because of limited experience with them. This study provided task experience over four serial memory trials, on the expectation that practice would be more beneficial for older (mean age 73) than younger (mean age 23) adults, giving them the opportunity to gain task knowledge and devise strategies to enhance memory. Results confirmed these hypotheses. Although older adults remembered less throughout the trials, their memory and strategies improved. Individual differences in strategy use and educational background also predicted performance. Findings challenge the assumption that older adults cannot actively improve their memory.

摘要:

ABSTRACTRemembering to remember, prospective memory, was investigated by simulation of medication regimen. Subjects were 80 adult volunteers in five age groups: 20s, 40s, 60s, 70s and 80 plus years. Subjects were asked to push a button at prescribed times on a small box containing an electronic device that recorded the date and time of each push. They were required to push the button at the same times over two periods of seven days; once‐a‐day for one week and four‐times‐a‐day for the other week. There was a significant effect for age, with the older adults more often on time and when late they were closer to the set times than the younger adults. However, the typical age‐related decline was found on a retrosp

摘要:

ABSTRACTPossessions allow us to understand and to express our self‐identity. For the elderly, possessions are also important repositories of memories of one's self‐identity in the past, especially when opportunities for the external validation of self are limited, for example, as a result of institutionalisation. The present study explored the relationship between possessions and self‐identity for elderly women in (a) their own homes, (b) a residential unit, and (c) a nursing home. Ten women in each residential setting were interviewed about the meaning and value of their possessions. Qualitative analysis revealed five themes relating to self‐identity (memories of people, memories from gifted possessions, memories of creator, memories of time or place, possessions as part of self)‐The responses of the three groups of women for each of these themes are

摘要:

ABSTRACTTelelink is a special telephone group support program designed to bring small groups of elderly people with visual impairment together each week for stimulation, social interaction or therapy. This study aims to investigate factors which contribute to the effectiveness of Telelink. Group dynamic analyses were obtained by direct ‘observation’ (listening in) of the group meetings. The analyses revealed extensive use of humour and exchange of coping strategies, with little evidence of conflict or domination among group members. The paper concludes with a discussion of the value of group telephone support programs for the elderly, the limitations of their use, and the possible application of Yalom's Group Model for future resea
