This perspective asserts that the elderly compete with younger members of society for the same resources and social rewards and suffer a variety of disadvantages because of their lack of social power. The subculture theory of aging states that older persons form subcultures in order to interact with others with similar backgrounds, experiences, attitudes, values, beliefs, and lifestyles. This happens not only by choice but because of segregation, social differentiation, and discrimination based on age. This theory assumes that aged people sever social ties with people from other age cohorts and increase them with others of similar age. These result in intensified age consciousness, creating social bond based on age that becomes more important than other variables that differentiate people. The activity theory of aging comes from symbolic interactionism. It contends that it is the extent to which an individual remains engaged in meaningful social activity that determines the quality of life in old age. An individual's sense of self and social identity depends largely on the statuses and roles he or she fulfills. Consequently, limited social interaction and the loss of social roles lead to lower self-esteem, loss of a sense of self, and decreased life satisfaction. Elderly people who remain actively engaged in desired activities are more satisfied with the quality of their lives.

Gardner, Ph.D. Professor and Associate Chair, Department of Educational Psychology Motor skills training of PINS in the elderly with and without MCI A bstract The proposed project will explore efficacy of a procedurally-based motor skills training program for teaching older individuals 4 four-digit personal identification numbers (PINS). The rationale for this approach is that procedural memory is supported by different neural systems than delarative memory, and that these systems may be less impacted by the negative effects of aging in general, and certain disease states (e.g., mild cognitive impairment [MCI]) in particular (Squire, 1986, 1987). The performance of three groups of older (60 years of age or older) adults will be compared: (1) 30 normal, healthy individuals using motor-skills training; (2) 30 individuals diagnosed with MCI using motor-skills training; and (3) 30 normal, healthy individuals in a control condition, in which they are not given explicit memory instructions. It is expected this group will rely on declarative memory strategies such as rehearsal. Our predictions are: (1) normal individuals given motor-skill training will show increased recall compared to normal individuals in the control condition; and (2) MCI individuals given motor-skill training will show increased recall performance compared to normal individuals in the control condition.
