◉ Cohort effect.
Answer: enables us to understand older adults from different
cultures and different geographical areas
◉ In Eriksons older adults will experience what.
Answer: Ego integrity vs. despair-evaluating one's
life/accomplishments for meaning
◉ Biological Theories.
Answer: explain the physiological processes that change with aging,
how is aging manifested on the molecular level in the cells, tissues,
and body system.
◉ Stochastic (statistical) perspective.
Answer: Identifies episodic events that happen throughout one's life
that cause random cell damage and accumulate over time, causing
aging
Includes: Free radical, cross linking theory, wear and tear
, ◉ Free radical theory.
Answer: proposes that aging is due to oxidative metabolism and the
effects of free radicals.
◉ Wear and tear theory.
Answer: Cumulative changes as cells age and damage cellular
metabolism (Example-inability to repair damaged DNA -- heart,
neurons, striated muscle, brain cant replace after they are destroyed
by wear and tear.
◉ Nonstochastic perspective.
Answer: Aging occurs because of pre-programmed genetic attributes
or biological clock
◉ Nursing theories of aging.
Answer: developed to address the need for providing framework to
guide caregivers in nursing homes how to care for the older people
and how to support them in the development process of aging
◉ Is a big decline in memory and cognitive ability a part of the
