I Have Decided to Read Out Loud for the Rest of My Life! Cognitive Health and the StrongerMemory Program
The StrongerMemory program aims to improve cognitive health in older adults through three daily brain exercises stimulating the prefrontal cortex: reading aloud, writing, and math activities. The brain’s prefrontal cortex governs memory retrieval, decision-making, concentration, planning, insight, and judgment. This paper reports on focus groups conducted to understand participants’ perspectives of the StrongerMemory program and their continuatio…
Intergenerational learning strategies for addressing ageism among college and university students
Intergenerational (IG) learning strategies can increase social and emotional wellness, among both students and elders while challenging ageism. However, research on IG learning to address biases among college students is still emerging. A scoping review was conducted to explore what is known about IG learning, the potential relevance of IG learning to reduce ageism, and implications for education, policy, and research. Included were peer-reviewed…
Can brain exercises mitigate cognitive decline? A quasi-experimental evaluation of the StrongerMemory program
The StrongerMemory program, a structured intervention involving reading aloud, writing by hand, and completing simple math problems, is designed to stimulate the prefrontal cortex and enhance cognitive functioning. This study addresses a research gap by evaluating a multi-modal cognitive intervention compared to traditional single-domain approaches. It aligns with emerging frameworks emphasizing population-informed, personalized cognitive trainin…
Ageism and Psychological Well-Being Among Older Adults
Ageism may have harmful effects on the psychological well-being of older adults, leading to mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. However, there are insufficient data to establish this hypothesis, and most work on the subject has appeared only in the form of conceptual or theoretical papers. This study reviewed quantitative studies of the relationship between ageism and psychological well-being of older adults. We conducted a comp…
Scales for Measuring Ageism as Experienced by Older Adults
This study identified the existing ageism scales and reviewed the literature on ageism scales with an emphasis on the methodological issues. Most standardized ageism scales have focused on younger people’s attitudes and beliefs toward older adults. There are relatively few standardized scales that assess how older adults feel and think about their experiences being stereotyped. Although significant efforts have been made to outline ageism’s vario…
Representations of older adults in Covid-related newspaper articles
Sample size determination and power analysis using the G*Power software
Appropriate sample size calculation and power analysis have become major issues in research and publication processes. However, the complexity and difficulty of calculating sample size and power require broad statistical knowledge, there is a shortage of personnel with programming skills, and commercial programs are often too expensive to use in practice. The review article aimed to explain the basic concepts of sample size calculation and power …
Ageism in Covid-Related Newspaper Coverage
This study provides insight for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners exploring societal perceptions of older adults and how these perceptions are disseminated and maintained by the media
The psychological well-being of grandparents who provide supplementary grandchild care
The prevention and handling of the missing data
Even in a well-designed and controlled study, missing data occurs in almost all research. Missing data can reduce the statistical power of a study and can produce biased estimates, leading to invalid conclusions. This manuscript reviews the problems and types of missing data, along with the techniques for handling missing data. The mechanisms by which missing data occurs are illustrated, and the methods for handling the missing data are discussed…
