Cognitive:

As people get older, their reactions to new information become significantly slower, making it harder for them to concentrate on many tasks at once or recall specifics of an event. The degree to which something was learnt or how it affected the person is mostly what determines how well it will be remembered. They cannot answer enquiries that need a quick response; however, they can work out issues that do not need quick processing.

Physical:

An aged person's performance becomes much more fragile. As their muscles and bones deteriorate, they move more slowly. In addition to their appearance like wrinkles, grey hair, and a shrinking of posture. Many health problems, including hearing or vision loss, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and others, start to manifest themselves at this stage of life as stated by The Health Navigator, 2023. Adults at this age also rely on extra support like loved ones or nurses to complete some day-to-day tasks they are uncapable of doing alone.

Socio – emotional:

As people get older their social group decreases mainly having primary loved ones around. Factors of this may be because all the friendships they created in their early adult hood have their own lives and family to be with, or because of natural occurrences like them passing away before them. Although they might still make casual relationships with people, they don't truly make new, lasting friendships because they spend most of their time with family.

The adulthood development theory developed by psychologist Daniel Levinson is his most well-known contribution. In his theory, adulthood was made up of alternating phases of stability and crisis, during which time people develop and refine their ideas of the roles they want to play in life and work to fulfil those roles. A person's interactions with their chosen roles, purposes, and other people are defined by these moments of stability and crises that make up their life structure.

Theories:

Integrity vs. despair was the name of the final stage Erikson designed. This developed around the happy last stage of our lives from age 65 – death. It is when we reflect on our lives and are content with it. Or a feeling of remorse, where we could have taken more actions to enjoy life (Mcleod, 2023).

Interrelationship:

Your cognitive reasoning grows less trustworthy as you become older. You can find it difficult to do some daily duties, so you depend on those close to you, to help. Because your close contacts (whoever they may be) know you are uncapable of completing some tasks, they become more involved creating strong, positive connections. The elder develops trust, comfortability and involvement from the helper/s.

Enviromental Influences:

Many public gardens and parks have a favorable impact on seniors. They can maintain their physical activity while taking in beautiful sightings as they breathe in fresh air. This kind of setting brings joy and peacefulness to many seniors. They frequently use these moments to reflect on their past or to feel appreciation for the world they live in.

The older generation mainly rely on the love and care from their closest relationships. They feel included and valued having a caring family by their side. Having a loving family can influence a sense of a happiness, pride and peace. Before they pass away, they prefer spending their final moments with family, making last memories.
