Psych 140: Module 8 Exam| exam questions and answers correct and verified 100%Psych 140: Module 8 Exam| exam questions and answers correct and verified 100% late adulthood - correct answers-begins in one's 60's can be the longest age grouping in one's life Do most older adults develop dementia? - correct answers-No. Some adults describe memory lapses as "senior moments" or "senility." Professionals now use the terms "dementia" or "neurocognitive disorder" to describe the loss of cognitive abilities due to a physical reason such as Alzheimer's Disease or stroke. It is not typical for an older adult, or anyone, to have a neurocognitive disorder. This is not a normal part of aging. Neurocognitive disorders can be caused by various diseases, severe drug/alcohol abuse, stroke, or progressive deterioration caused by a variety of factors (as is likely the case with Alzheimer's Disease, to be discussed later). Neurocognitive disorders are extremely rare prior to age 60. Only a small percentage of 65-75 year-olds have a neurocognitive disorder. However, this number increases with age so that approximately 50% of individuals 85 and older have a neurocognitive disorder. Why do women typically outlive men? - correct answers-Partly genetics, but it is particularly environmental men are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and be less vigilant about their overall health Are memory problems inevitable as we get older? - correct answers-There are certainly cognitive changes that occur as adults age. One typical change is that elders have trouble remembering the precise source of information. For example, after telling a story for many years, an elder might forget that the story was based on an event that happened to someone else rather than himself. However, as mentioned earlier, neurocognitive disorders and dementia are not a typical part of aging. Do most older adults need to live in a nursing home? - correct answers-No. Most elders are able to care for themselves and are able to carry on their normal activities. Elders who are physically unwell are more likely to have cognitive impairments or mobility issues and may need long-term care. primary aging - correct answers-is genetically influenced and thought to be unavoidable secondary aging - correct answers-aging that is not inevitable. It is a result of choices that we make and environmental exposures (smoking and sun exposure) "wear and tear" theory - correct answers-time and exertion is the enemy. As we get older, we simply wear out this theory has many holes in it it only focuses on secondary aging activity is more important genetic theories for aging - correct answers-specific genes seem to be at least partly responsible for longevity as well as the age at which noticeable changes occur in aging cumulative effects that damage DNA, resulting in aging biological theories - correct answers-cellular theories free radical theory programmed cell death theories cellular theory of aging - correct answers-we age because our cells age, and then they senescence and no longer divide then, we have trouble responding to injury, illness, and stress Hayflick limit - correct answers-The limit to the number of times a cell can divide before senescence doesn't necessarily limit one's lifespan free radical theory - correct answers-we gradually accumulate free radical cellular damage which leads to DNA mutations helps explain certain cancers, diabetes, etc. recent work modifies this theory Programmed cell death theory - correct ans
