This guide explores normal ageing, addressing common changes as we mature and how to enhance our mental and emotional health. Key strategies include cognitive techniques such as mnemonic devices, maintaining social connections, engaging in physical activities, and embracing healthy eating habits rich in omega-3. We also focus on prospective memory in ageing and its connections to overall cognitive abilities.

  1. Positive Ageing Kevin Mo & Alice Gummery School of Psychology The University of Western Australia

  2. What is ‘normal’ ageing? • What do you think are some of the normal changes as we age?

  3. What is normal?

  4. What can we do to help with these changes? • When learning new things: don’t rush, avoid distractions • Use mnemonic devices • Keep “to do” lists / use “post-its” • Use a calendar/diary/mobile device • Stay active, social, and healthy – e.g., Men’s Shed! • Don’t buy into ageist stereotypes!

  5. What is the role of emotions? • Memory • Thinking • Interpretation • Attention • Sleep • Health

  6. Strategies for Optimising Mental & Emotional Health • Physical exercise (especially aerobic exercises) • Take the stairs rather than the lift • Gardening • Maintaining social connections • Frequent interaction with family, friends and work colleagues. • Engaging in social activities • Stimulating mental activity • Learning a new hobby • Problem solving activities • Eating a healthy diet • Fruits and vegetables • Foods high in omega 3 (salmon, kiwi fruit and walnuts)

  7. Positive Ageing REMEMBER: Talk to your doctor, reduce stress, take care of your body, get connected to the community, and set small goals!!

  8. Our team’s research Healthy Ageing Research Project (HARP) • Thinking skills as we age • Prospective Memory and healthy ageing* • Awareness of Prospective Memory • Sleep and Prospective Memory

  9. I need to remember buy milk on the way home

  10. ProspectiveMemory and Ageing • Old vs. Young • How does Prospective Memory change as we age? • How does it relate to other abilities? • Is it sensitive to things like dementia?

  11. Our Research • Prospective Memory and how well people take their medications • Prospective Memory and Multi-tasking

  12. West Australian Participant Pool • BUT… • We need volunteers • Exploring the mind with WAPP • http://wapp.psychology.uwa.edu.au/wordpress

  13. One volunteer says… “Of course, the University has easy access to young volunteers but they need more older people. The projects are very interesting and quite good fun - I recommend being a volunteer! The tests usually last about one hour - why not have a go?” J. Griffiths.

  14. How you can help • No participants = no research! • Why people say ‘no’ • I am too old/young • I am not clever enough • It will be stressful/embarrassing • I won’t have any choice about what I do • I won’t be able to change my mind

  15. Thank you for your time and attention • Do you have any questions?
