Full description: |
This course will provide a graduate-level training in biopsychosocial aspects of old age with a focus on neurocognitive aging. We will cover global trends in population aging, theory of the psychology of aging and research methods to study aging. This course will also give an overview of the biological and physical aspects of aging and their relationship to cognitive and brain health in older adults. We will cover cognitive disorders in older adults and understand the psychosocial and emotional components of aging. We will also explore cognitive resilience vs. reserve and current intervention strategies to mitigate cognitive decline in aging. |
