720470 SE Seminar on basic- and practice deepening: Presentation exercises and literature work in ageing neuroscience research
winter semester 2023/2024 | Last update: 02.10.2023 | Place course on memo listWe try to find out what it is that makes some older adults become 'super agers', that is, not losing their cognitive abilites even in old age. Practising presentations techniques.
We all know that cognitive abilities change over the lifespan, which typically increase towards adulthood and decline in ageing. However, another well known phenomenon in ageing is that there are large interindividual differences in cognitive abilities with some older adults - so called 'super agers' - maintaining a cognitive level typical for 20 year olds. We try to understand which factors in the brain and in lifestyle might be crucial for allowing people to be 'super agers', and how we might strive to become super agers ourselves. In working through and presenting relevant scientific literature repeatedly, we will also hone our presentation skills.
Reading, presenting and discussing (also english) research articles.
