Assignment: Late Adulthood
Directions: Answer the following questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. Be sure to cite sources of information using APA format. Due by 11:55 p.m. Sunday May 30th. I will attach the reading material that this assignment is referring to (LIFE SPAN AND DEVELOPMENT TEXT BOOK, WHEN CITING THE SOURCES, PLEASE USE THE LAST NAMES). This DOES NOT NEED TO BE AN ESSAY. Just be sure to answer ALL LISTED QUESTIONS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT. SINGLE SPACED PLEASE.
1. Briefly discuss an issue in Chapter 9 that was meaningful to you.
2. Your elderly loved one is concerned about memory loss and cognitive decline in later years. Based on scientific evidence, what would you tell your loved one about normal aging effects on cognition and memory? (200-300 words)
3. Your elderly friend says they are experiencing loneliness. Based on evidence provided in Lally and Valentine-French (2019), what concerns might you have for your friend? (200-300 words)
4. Your elderly patient asks you about resources in the community for the elderly. Please find three services in your city or county, and list them. In addition, provide the names, addresses, and a brief description of what the organization provides for the elderly.
5. Read the article Age and Pandemic: Time Lost, Plans Canceled, and Dreams Deferred (APNews, 2020) under the Required Resources link for Week 9. Connect this news story with information presented in Lally and Valentine-French (2019). In addition, reflect on the challenges faced by this age group and compare with your own. NOTE: I know that people lost their jobs and/or family members to COVID, and that many college students are learning online rather than in-person. The pandemic has been challenging, in different ways, for everyone. This article may be viewed as biased towards those with privilege. I ask that you read this and respond from a lens of a human development perspective based on psychological understanding of late adulthood issues.
