CANCELED: Intersection Between Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Domains in Aging

Sunday, May 28, 2017 · Boston, MA

Developmental

The pattern of preservation and loss within socio-emotional domains with aging does not always parallel that within cognitive domains. This symposium will explore this contradiction across functional domains, surveying ways in which models of cognitive aging extend to socio-emotional domains, as well as ways in which socio-emotional domains are distinct.
