As an educator I will recommend cognitive training for Peter and Ella because this will help them be more strong and have better cognitive abilities. According to researchers, they have cut the view that the cognitive abilities of older people inevitably decline. But, overall intellectual ability and specific cognitive skills, such as memory and problem solving, are more likely to remain strong. In fact, if Peter and Ella practice appropriately and use environmental stimuli and cognitive skills they will actually improve. According to the developmental psychologist Timothy Salthouse, suggests that the rate of true, underlying cognitive decline in late adulthood is unaffected by mental exercise. Instead, he argues that some people, the kind
Participation in physical activity has been shown to have many health benefits for older adults; this study does not provide strong support that it protects against cognitive decline. Reports have been made that physical activity may help guard against stroke and coronary heart disease, both of which may be associated with the development of dementia. Some studies were either limited in their scope or had short follow-up times. In all they find that for older adults, physical activity alone may not protect against cognitive decline.

Ella stood in the doorway of the locker room deciding if she was going to go along with the plan or if she was going to do the right thing.
The factors that occurred in Peter’s family background that increased his and Jackie's risk of divorce is when Peter was 14 his parents divorced as well his father had an affair with another woman which later got them married. As well Peter’s mother, Ethel had left to England because she never really liked the lifestyle in Canada to start off with and she only immigrated there to improve her marriage life with her husband, and since that did not work out, she left. Whereas Jackie had left her home at her teenage years leaving her
Toni you are experience to handle situations like John and Lydia. It is blessing to be employed with the same agency for ten years. Do multiple reports have to be filed for adult protective service to investigate. You are correct about patient right to self-determination. I wish there was a loophole for older adults who are not competent of making decisions for their self. Lydia and john are in dire needs for someone other than the son to be their guardian. I think it is horrible that the son does not want outsiders to be involved in his parent business. You answered my question regarding the courts.
China’s One-Child Policy which was created in 1980, brought much negativity among people, this policy restricted and disabled many human rights and violations in which i totally disagree with this entire policy. It blocked and restricted many family members to inherit and have kids which was a very disturbing matter, it’s sad how at that time parents couldn’t have babies born. There were many other negative impactful factors, there was a lot of racial discrimination among blacks and other races in that time period, people started forcing them to work as a slave tragically. One of the most important major factors that stood out in the One-Child Policy was
So here you are, at the top of a mountain on an isolated island in the Pacific, with a camera-ready serial killer holding a machete inches from your face. Not how you thought this day would go. You take in your volcanic island surroundings noticing the fertility of the soil and diversity of the trees surrounding the mountain peak you stand on. You continue to look around frantically in hopes that you will find an escape or a defence against the person in front of you. But what happens next was even less believable, without thinking you throw the Pandanus berries that you picked up for food at the violent crazed tv host in hopes that it will distract him from his next kill. You turn ready to run, but then you hear a screaming noise coming from the killer himself. You turn around wondering
Both have related that they now have to actively work to maintain their previous mental acuity. In their 20’s, both did well in college and were well respected in their
Thesis: It is the intent of this paper to dig into the life of Peter and see just who this man that passionately followed Christ was. As we dig into the life of Peter we will examine his character strengths, his weaknesses, and overall how Peter was transformed by Christ. We will see how God took a man who more often than not acted without thinking and transformed him into a passionate follower who’s words we read today in God’s very words to us.
American payroll Association (APA) is an association of accountants or professionals who are tasked with the responsibility of processing the payroll in a business entity or organization. The professions join this association in order to gain the wide variety of benefits the association offers to its members. These benefits include; Training of its members on the most efficient and effective ways of processing payrolls as well as carrying other duties within a business entity that the professional may be assigned to (American Payroll Association, 2002). This training is done through the association conducting training courses. The association further publishes articles and other resources that are useful to its members and are generally stored in the payroll library. This greatly elevates the knowledge of the members on payroll as well as on its management. In addition, American Payroll Association (APA) certifies its members on meeting the criteria requirements of certification which is completing one of the courses among other criteria set by the association.
Research has proven that physical activity improves cognitive function and can also improve brain function throughout a lifespan. Moreover, staying physically active has so many benefits as well. For example, doing exercise and fitness activities help build cells and natural pathways to help reduce changes in memory loss or dementia. Also, it has so many health benefits including long-term improvements to the cognitive function as the young adult reaching mid
Smith et al. (2013) took a less studied approach to improving cognitive decline by testing the effects of aerobic exercise on adults (60-88 years old) already suffering from cognitive impairment. After 12 weeks of moderate exercise there was an improvement of memory and neural efficiency across all subjects.
The articles by Erikson et al., Gatz, Korol et al., and Draganski et al. explore the concept of increased physical activity and/or mental activity having effects on the cognitive function and development or deterioration of the brain as we age. Although I agree that physical exercise is critical in increasing cognitive function because of the health benefits it provides, as well as the increased blood flow and circulation throughout the body, I ultimately believe that a healthy brain is not achieved solely by physical exercise or mental exercise, but both. I think there is a link between physical and mental exercise, and that the combination of these two activities creates higher cognitive functioning of the mind as well as the body. The mind and body come together and meet to make an overall healthy individual.
Cognitive aging is worthy of study for many reasons. The more knowledge that is uncovered about cognitive aging, the closer to possibly finding ways to slow the process down, decrease the intensity of the symptoms, or maybe prevent it all together. If there are possible ways of doing so it is important to find them. The “what” and “when” of cognitive aging has made advances, but the “why”, “where”, and “how” are still to be uncovered. We further our knowledge of the “why”, “where”, or “how”, or uncover the full truth, without knowing the full truth about the “what” and “when”. Finding out more about one might lead to learning more about another. Expanding our knowledge on cognitive aging has the potential to increase someone’s quality of life. It has the potential to increase that family member’s quality of life. Cognitive aging effects more than the victim, it effects their
becoming an adult was everything but a straightforward task for him. Peter lives with an intellectual disability caused by Down Syndrome. This diagnosis is a genetic disorder caused by chromosome pair twenty-one that often results in severe developmental and intellectual delays. Additionally, Peter has issues with a hyperactive thyroid, bursts of Obsessive-Compulsive disorder, depression, and developmental issues that caused a severe delay in his speech. Due to these several health issues, he has several behavior problems and this negatively impairs his social skills. Peter lacks the ability to portray his emotions to others, and this causes problems. He struggles with impulsivity, shouting out, and taking other children’s things from them. This can be seen in the sixth-grade lunchroom when Peter takes food from his classmates and then refuses to return it. Frustrated, the other kids move to another table and leave him to sit in isolation. Another example is his tendency to ignore directions. When working in the laundry room, Peter thought it was entertaining to repeatedly switch the lights on and off. After being told to sit still until the dryer finished, he continues with his inappropriate behavior. Thus, he is eventually taken to the suspension room. In regards to how he acted around his teachers, it was generally acceptable. Peter tends to be satisfied until he doesn’t get his way. When told to do something other than what he has his mind set on, he screams and becomes
It is because of this high level of cognitive function that physical activity and nutrition are extremely important (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010). They affect the child’s physical wellbeing in terms of energy levels, growth and the ability to concentrate (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010).
