Research on aging has identified a number of positive brain and behavioral changes in the second half of life that set the stage for psychological growth and creative expression. We now recognize positive developments among middle age and older adults that occur not despite aging, bu because of aging.
Gene Cohen, MD, PhD, the director of the Aging Center at George Washington University, gave a lecture that discussed the positive health changes from creative engagement at age 80 from his landmark Creativity and Aging Study.
The event was co-sponsored with the USC Davis School of Gerontology for USC Parents Weekend.
