Impact of Aging on Th inking

چکیده
This chapter discusses the impact of aging on judgment and decision making, problem solving, reasoning, induction, memory, and metacognition, as well as the influence of expertise, training, and wisdom. In addition, the chapter presents theories of cognitive aging and addresses the ways in which changing goals (such as emotional goals) in old age can alter the processes and outcomes associated with cognitive operations. There is a wealth of research documenting age-related cognitive declines and impairments in areas such as decision making, reasoning, problem solving, category learning, and memory. However, in addition to addressing the potential difficulties older adults may experience when performing demanding cognitive operations, this chapter also examines certain situations and variables that have been shown to lessen or ameliorate age-related differences in performance. Lastly, the impact of training, expertise, and wisdom are discussed as they relate to successful cognitive aging.

Environmental Effects on Mechanical Properties of Glass/Epoxy and Fiber Metal Laminates, Part I: Hygrothermal Aging
In this article, the effect of hygrothermal aging on mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) and E-glass/epoxy (GE) composites is investigated. First, FML and GE specimens were built using wet lay-up technique under vacuum pressure. Hygrothermal aging simulation was then carried out on both specimen types in distilled water at a constant temperature of 90 °C for 5 weeks. The resul...
متن کاملEnvironmental effects on mechanical properties of glass/epoxy and fiber metal laminates, Part II: Isothermal aging
The aim of this study is to investigate effects of isothermal aging on mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) and glass/epoxy composites. For this purpose, both materials were fabricated using the wet lay-up manufacturing technique under vacuum pressure. Both the glass/epoxy composites and the FML specimens were then subjected to isothermal aging (130°C, dried air) for up to 5 we...
متن کاملFluid inking: augmenting the medium of free-form inking with gestures
We present Fluid Inking, a generally applicable approach to augmenting the fluid medium of free-form inking with gestural commands. Our approach is characterized by four design criteria, including: 1) pen-based hardware impartiality: all interactions can be performed with a button-free stylus, the minimal input hardware requirement for inking, and the least common denominator device for pen-bas...
متن کاملIncorporating Digital Inking Methods in Hci Knowledge Elicitation
This workshop paper presents digital inking software tools designed to aid and enhance the capabilities of HCI practitioners. The advantages of using these inking tools as part of a HCI practitioners’ toolkit are firstly to aid in user design and testing with non-technical participants, based on the aesthetic simulacra of digital inking methods as they closely mimic pen-based approaches. Second...
متن کاملDo Metarepresentation and Narratives Play a Role in Refl ective Th inking?
Refl ective thinking can mean three diff erent things. A fi rst form of refl ective thinking consists in elaborating personal conceptions about the mental activities and abilities and in becoming aware of what occurs in our and other people’s minds when we are engaged in intellectual tasks. Th is form of refl ective thinking encompasses the research fi eld usually labeled as “metacognition.” A ...
