Cognitive Predictors of Everyday Problem Solving across the Lifespan
Cross-sectional data show that the practical ability to solve everyday problems increases from young adulthood until middle age [4 ... One reason for peak performance during middle adulthood in everyday problem solving may be that middle-aged adults have the ideal balance of fluid and crystallized resources needed for everyday problem solving ...
9.5: Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
Brain Functioning. The brain, at midlife, has been shown to not only maintain many of the abilities of young adults, but also gain new ones. Some individuals in middle age actually have improved cognitive functioning (Phillips, 2011). The brain continues to demonstrate plasticity and rewires itself in middle age based on experiences.
Chapter 9: Middle Adulthood
Middle adulthood, or midlife, is the period between early and late adulthood. The general age range for this stage is from 40-45 to 60-65, but this can vary based on cultural definitions and expectations. ... which refers to the capacity to learn new ways of solving problems and performing activities quickly and abstractly, and crystallized ...
Chapter 10: Middle Adulthood
This period lasts from 20 to 40 years depending on how these stages, ages, and tasks are culturally defined. The most common age definition is from 40 to 65, but there can be a range of up to 10 years on either side of these numbers. For the purpose of this text and this chapter, we will define middle adulthood from age 40 to 65.
Middle Adulthood
Performance in Middle Adulthood. Research on interpersonal problem solving suggests that older adults use more effective strategies than younger adults to navigate through social and emotional problems (Blanchard-Fields, 2007). In the context of work, researchers rarely find that older individuals perform less well on the job (Park & Gutchess ...
Everyday problem solving across the adult life span: solution diversity
Abstract. Everyday problem solving involves examining the solutions that individuals generate when faced with problems that take place in their everyday experiences. Problems can range from medication adherence and meal preparation to disagreeing with a physician over a recommended medical procedure or compromising with extended family members ...
11.2: Chapter 26- Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
Seattle Longitudinal Study: The Seattle Longitudinal Study has tracked the cognitive abilities of adults since 1956. Every seven years the current participants are evaluated, and new individuals are also added. Approximately 6000 people have participated thus far, and 26 people from the original group are still in the study today.
Describe Erikson's developmental task of middle adulthood, generativity vs. stagnation. ... rather it involves being able to use skills and to problem-solve in practical ways. Tacit knowledge can be seen clearly in the workplace and underlies the steady improvements in job performance documented across age and experience, as seen for example ...

Research on interpersonal problem solving suggests that older adults use more effective strategies than younger adults to navigate through social and emotional problems. [18] In the context of work, researchers rarely find that older individuals perform less well on the job. [19] Similar to everyday problem solving, older workers may develop more efficient ...

Physical and Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
Middle adulthood is a time of both gains and losses. The span of middle adulthood can be defined chronologically, contextually, or biologically. ... The ability to solve practical problems is strong, and may peak, at midlife. CREATIVITY Guidepost 6: What accounts for creative achievement, and how does it change with age? ...
Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood

Cognitive Predictors of Everyday Problem Solving across the Lifespan
Abstract. Background: An important aspect of successful aging is maintaining the ability to solve everyday problems encountered in daily life. The limited evidence today suggests that everyday problem solving ability increases from young adulthood to middle age, but decreases in older age. Objectives: The present study examined age differences ...
8.7: Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
Figure 8.7.2 8.7. 2. Seattle Longitudinal Study data, ages 25 to 88. Cognitive skills in the aging brain have been studied extensively in pilots, and similar to the Seattle Longitudinal Study results, older pilots show declines in processing speed and memory capacity, but their overall performance seems to remain intact.
(PDF) Age differences in everyday problem solving: The role of problem
Examination of the interaction between problem type and age group, F(2, 172) ¼ 11.21, p < .001, using planned comparisons revealed that middle-aged adults generated more solutions than both younger t(172) ¼ 4.88, p < .001, and older adults, t(172) ¼ 5.43, p < .001, on practical problems, whereas, counter to our predictions, older adults ...
Chapter 26: Cognitive Development in Middle Adulthood
Verbal memory, spatial skills, inductive reasoning (generalizing from particular examples), and vocabulary increase with age until one's 70s (Schaie, 2005; Willis & Shaie, 1999). However, numerical computation and perceptual speed decline in middle and late adulthood (see Figure 8.18). Cognitive skills in the aging brain have been studied ...
12 Adult Age Differences in Traditional and Practical Problem Solving
The goal was to investigate the effects of logical thinking and cognitive style on the ability to solve everyday problems among older adults. What we test is the intuition that the person's cognitive style is related to solve day-to-day problems. However, we argued also that one needs a good dose of pragmatism, as measured by logical thinking.

The limited evidence today suggests that everyday problem solving ability increases from young adulthood to middle age, but decreases in older age.

A developmental study of practical problem solving in adults.
Previous research indicates that young and middle-aged adults perform better than other age groups on problems similar to those they might encounter in their everyday lives. However, elderly adults have not performed better than other age groups on problems designed to give them the advantage. In order to ensure that the problems used in the present study were ones that elderly adults might ...
