Enhancing older adults\u0026rsquo; physical, cognitive, psychological, and practical well-being requires both cutting-edge science on the nature of aging and translational work on how to support everyday functioning, including practical aspects like how older adults meet challenges of everyday life in the face of physical and cognitive challenges that can accompany aging. Technology provides important new options for assessment of individuals as they age, and with providing support to enhance and maintain the level of function as people age.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EChristopher\u0026nbsp;Hertzog and Ann Pearman of the Georgia Tech School of Psychology will briefly describe one recently submitted grant proposal involving IPaT scientists and themselves as an example. They seek to explore other ways in which marrying insights from multiple disciplines on aging to psychological and technological innovation on supporting older adults may lead to new approaches to maximize human potential during transitions from the working years into retirement and late life.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EModerators:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EChristopher Hertzog, Professor, School of Psychology\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnn Pearman, Research Scientist, School of Psychology\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"At Thursday\u2019s IPaT Think Tank we\u0027ll discuss a new initiative designed to address how to optimize the level of function and quality of life of adults from midlife through old age."}],"uid":"27980","created_gmt":"2017-10-23 17:51:12","changed_gmt":"2017-10-24 16:16:34","author":"Alyson Key","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-10-26T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-10-26T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-10-26T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-10-26 20:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-10-26 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-10-26 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"596936":{"id":"596936","type":"image","title":"IPaT Thursday Think Tank","body":null,"created":"1507134956","gmt_created":"2017-10-04 16:35:56","changed":"1507134956","gmt_changed":"2017-10-04 16:35:56","alt":"IPaT Thursday Think Tank","file":{"fid":"227514","name":"Thursday_Think_Tank_Template_9-19 (2).jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Thursday_Think_Tank_Template_9-19%20%282%29.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Thursday_Think_Tank_Template_9-19%20%282%29.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":138252,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Thursday_Think_Tank_Template_9-19%20%282%29.jpg?itok=uYdt9YNS"}}},"media_ids":["596936"],"groups":[{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"},{"id":"594329","name":"Smart Cities and Inclusive Innovation"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"120051","name":"Thursday Think Tank"},{"id":"12888","name":"IPaT"},{"id":"11726","name":"Institute for People and Technology"},{"id":"175744","name":"Doug Allvine"},{"id":"175745","name":"Siva Jayaraman"},{"id":"175746","name":"sports technology"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
