This module topic in the course focused on aging and cognition. Aging comes with natural neurological changes to the body which leads to cognitive declines, that ultimately impact our daily mental, physical and emotional functioning. As Horgan identifies, if we are were more aware of these natural changes, our systems and organizations could anticipate and accommodate for older adult’s cognitive changes (2019).
Be sure to check out the main and sub posts for this section of the blog – also note the section for the special topic of stigma!
