Maturing and Aging - S1.E18

Maturing and Aging is the eighteenth program in the DISCOVERING PSYCHOLOGY series. This program looks at the human life cycle in spans of 20-25 years, and what happens physically and mentally as we age. Popular misconceptions about the elderly are examined, often in contrast to the reality of growing old. Researchers, who are developing mental exercises to improve mental efficiency, explain senile dementia and other effects of aging.
