Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

757
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,...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Cross-Sectional Research

12.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Relationship Formation

45.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Digital Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Sociology of Technology

Background:

  • Older adults' technology adoption is complex, influenced by personal needs, device features, and environmental factors.
  • Age-related changes and rapid digital evolution pose challenges to technology integration for seniors.
  • Perspectives of family and health professionals on older adults' technology use are under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine daily technology use among older adults in Israel from multiple viewpoints.
  • Investigate preferred technology activities, device features, and the transition to digital interactions.
  • Understand responses to mismatches between user needs, technology capabilities, and social support.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted nine web-based focus groups with older adults, family members, and health professionals.
  • Included 20 older adults (66-80 years), 19 family members (21-55 years), and 20 health professionals.
  • Data collection occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic (February 2021 to July 2022).

Main Results:

  • Older adults' technology preferences vary based on activity urgency, significance, and device characteristics.
  • Family and health professionals stressed tailoring technology to users and features, and the importance of social interaction.
  • Older adults reported emotional challenges with technology, linked to ability gaps, generational differences, and cognitive load.

Conclusions:

  • Older adults' technology use is highly variable and driven by individual activity preferences and needs.
  • Focusing on practical applications and social interaction is key to enhancing technology engagement for seniors.
  • Addressing emotional challenges and unmet needs is crucial to prevent frustration and disengagement with technology.
