Assignment:

For this assignment, assume that you are a helping professional and/or a family member of an individual over age 75 who is experiencing cognitive change.

Consider both growth-related changes like an increase in wisdom or crystallized intelligence as well as decline related changes like decreased processing speed or memory changes.

What are the possible cognitive changes that a normal, healthy person in this age group might experience?
How would normal conditions differ from disease conditions?

Describe the personal and contextual issues that you might consider in terms of determining the degree to which the changes were normal or of concern for a person over age 75.

Then assuming that the changes are normal, age-related changes and not a disease condition:

What might you tell the individual in terms of how to respond to the changes?
What adaptations in the environment or functioning might you suggest?
How would you communicate your messages in a person-centered, respectful fashion that would promote successful aging for that individual?
