adulthood, age stages, erikson says after intimacy vs isolation comes…

- - - - has its cons: how do you know that ppl aren't scoring higher due to practice? how do you know ppl who had lower scores didn't just all drop out of the study? how do you know the results of this long-term research of one cohort can still be generalizable in the future?
        
        solution: cross-sequential research (pioneered by K. Warner Schaie): still studying ppl over time, but each group adding ppl of that age that have never done the test before.
        
        his Seattle Longitudinal Study proved that ppl improve in most mental abilities in adulthood
        
        Horn and Cattell proposed two types of intelligence
        
        fluid: learning new things and creativity
        
        crystalized: old memories and experiences
        
        they propose that you have to take both these intelligences into account and recognize that our intelligence is both growing and declining, with fluid going down and crystalized going up/their results also show that IQ is fairly steady from 30-70 y/o. They propose that using a single test doesn't capture the whole picture either.
        
        Sternberg: 3 forms/clusters of intelligence: analytic, creative, practical
        
        even though intelligence might diminish over time with age, it depends on whether or not you are interested in a certain field, if you are, then you'll remain competent. If not, you might not see the purpose of even taking an IQ test in the first place, hence, you'll do poorly in comparison to youngsters
    - - the Flynn effect refers to the concept that the average IQ increases over time.
- - - - happy events that occur between 10 and 30 y/o are remembered better than any other times in life/ emotions are also remembered better
    - - retrieval is harder for them than storage: they usually remember all the words but just have harder time with verbal fluency/ speed of cognition is affected by neural fluid, smaller prefrontal cortex, and slower cerebral blood flow
- - - - complicated grief: complication that impedes a person's future life
        
        Disenfranchised grief: bereaved(includes both grief and mourning) but aren't allowed to mourn publicly
        
        incomplete grief: grief without closure ie. body still at police station for autopsy
        
        absent grief: societal expectations that you shouldn't grief
        
        typical mourning process emotion progression:
        
        longing
        
        depression and despair: irrational anger and confused thinking
        
        shock
        
        recovery
