Module 8 Psych 140 Portage Learning
Pre Assessessment Questions Solved
Correctly.
late aduldhood - Answer starts in 60's, can be the longest age grouping in one's life if an individual lives
to old age



Do most older adults develop dementia? - Answer No, It is not a normal part of aging. Only a small
percentage of 65-to-75-year-old people have a neurocognitive disorder. However, this number increases
with age (50% of individuals 85 and older have a neurocognitive disorder)_



What are some causes of neurocognitive disorders? - Answer various diseases, severe drug/alcohol
abuse, stroke, or progressive deterioration caused by a variety of factors



Why do women typically outlive men? - Answer Partly genetics, but mostly environmental. Men are
more likely to engage in risky behaviors, abuse drugs and alcohol, and be less vigilant about their overall
health.



primary aging - Answer the universal and irreversible physical changes that occur to all living creatures
as they grow older, genetically influenced, and thought to be unavoidable at this point



secondary aging - Answer aging that is not inevitable and occurs due to choices we make and
environmental exposures



"wear and tear" theory - Answer States that time and exertion is the enemy, and focuses on secondary
aging but ignores the actual cause which is primary aging. However there are holes in this theory: body
does a great job at repairing itself, individuals who engage in a lot of exercise and activity are typically
healthier and longer-lived than sedentary individuals,



free radical theory - Answer theory of aging that states that free radicals triggered by certain
environmental contaminants might be linked to various diseases and maladies that coincide with aging.
Accumulating free radicals over time might be associated with problems such as cataracts and arthritis
