- 6gerontologystudy of old age
- 7young-old60-70 yrs helthy, financially secure and good social skills
- 8old-oldover 75's physical, mental, or social decline
- 9oldest- old (elderley)over 85's dependant on others for needs
- 10gerontologists refer to ageing as:optimal ageing,usual ageing, impaired aging
-successful ageing - 11selective optimisation with compinsationto compinsate the part of the body or mind that is not working eg.getting glasses to help you see
- 12primary ageingageing that occurs in all things
- 13secondary ageingspecific ilnesses/decline that are more common in ageing but are also exaberated by other conditions in the persons life eg. health, genes, habits
- 14PNI approachpsychoneuroimmunological approach
-psychosociol
- nervous processes
-neuroendecrone processes
-immune processes - 155 major developmental theories1. psychoanalytic (early childhood)
2. behaviourism(environment)
3. cognitive(mind)

- 20wear and tear theorybodies wear out with age
- 21genetic theoriesevolutionary limits of lifespan
- 22cellular theorieswe are a collection of cells which replicate themselves and repair damage- less efective with age
- 23'usual' ageing for sensory memoryless sharp
slower
dull=some info never reaches sensory memory - 24'usual' ageing memory for working memoryworking memory decline
processing info takes longer with age - 25'usual' ageing for control processesless effective and efficient
- 26general memory decline for 'usual ageing'implicit memory more easily retrieves than explicit because of the difficulty in info processes between working memory and long term memory
- 27cognitive processes hindered by:diminished sensation + perception, more interference and less inhibition
