Cognitive Development During Adulthood

303
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Gerontology
  • Qualitative Research Methods

Background:

  • Research on older adults with memory concerns often prioritizes external perspectives on tracking.
  • There is a need to understand the lived experiences and perceived potential of self-tracking from the users' viewpoint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of self-tracking as perceived by individuals experiencing memory concerns.
  • To understand the emotional landscape and influencing factors related to self-tracking in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted in-depth interviews with 29 participants reporting memory concerns.
  • Utilized an affective writing approach to capture participants' emotional responses and perspectives.
  • Employed qualitative analysis to identify themes and patterns in perceived potential.

Main Results:

  • Identified a spectrum of potentials associated with self-tracking, linked to existing self-tracking behaviors.
  • Observed varied emotional responses, including acceptance, resistance, anticipation, and aversion.
  • Found that emotional motivations influence whether participants close off or keep self-tracking possibilities open.

Conclusions:

  • The perceived potential of self-tracking for individuals with memory concerns is complex and emotionally driven.
  • Individual potential is significantly shaped by personal routines, social relationships, and broader institutional/cultural contexts.
  • Findings inform design for ambiguity and understanding the multifaceted experience of living with memory concerns.
