課程概述 |
What does it mean to “grow old”? Which psychological processes change in later life and which do not? Why is it important to study adult development and aging? This course is designed to address these questions by providing students with an overview of psychological development in adulthood and later life. It will cover theory and research relevant to a variety of topics regarding the psychology of aging, including research methods, major theories of aging, physical and mental health in old age, cognitive aging, and social/emotional issues. An overarching goal in this course will be to critically analyze potential methods for achieving healthy, or successful, aging. The class will combine lectures, discussions, and class assignments to help students explore the scientific, personal, and societal relevance of the growth and decline evident in adult development. |

Exam1 & 2 |
50% |
There will be 2 exams, each worth 25% of your final grade. All exams are non-cumulative and will contain a variety of testing formats (e.g., matching, diagrams, etc.), but will primarily consist of multiplechoice questions. Make-up exams will be given only when a scheduled exam is missed due to an unavoidable (e.g., medical) emergency. If this happens, I will request documentation of the emergency. |

Final project |
25% |
A fundamental component of scientific psychology is designing and reporting experimental research, as well as using scientific knowledge for the purposes of treatment and rehabilitation. To give you first-hand experience in this process as it relates to aging, each student will be required to complete one of the following projects worth 25% of your final grade.
Option 1 - Research Proposal: Write a proposal for a research project designed to examine a specific issue in the area of Psychology of Aging. A good proposal includes an introduction and rationale, proposed methods, and expected results.
Option 2 - Cognitive Enhancement Program for Older Adults: Design a program to enhance the cognitive abilities of older adults. This may be a memory training program, a program to teach older adults a particular skill (such as using computer software), or anything that enhances the cognitive functioning of older adults. The description of your program should be very specific and include the activities and materials to be used (e.g., a lesson plan or instructor manual). Be sure to clearly reference empirical research that supports your program. |
