The term "skill" encompasses an array of topics and issues. For
example, individuals are skilled in a variety of domains such as
chess, typing, air traffic control, or knitting; researchers study
skill in a variety of ways, including speed of acquisition,
accuracy of performance, and retention over time; and there are a
variety of approaches to the study of skill such as computer
modeling or experimental analysis. Contributing to the
understanding of whether, how, when, and why skills may decline as
a function of age is the goal of this volume.

Designing for Older Adults: Case Studies, Methods, and Tools There are many products, tools, and technologies available that could provide support for older adults. However, their success requires that they are designed with older adults in mind by being aware of, and adhering to, design principles that recognize the needs, abilities, and preferences of diverse groups of older adults. Achieving good design is a process facilitated by seeing principles and guidelines in action. Design success requires understanding how to use the methods and tools available to evaluate initial ideas and prototypes. The goal of this book is to provide illustrative "case studies" of designing for older adults based on real design challenges faced by the researchers of the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE) over the past two decades. These case studies exemplify the use of human factors tools and user-centered design principles to understand the needs of older adults, identify where existing designs failed older users, and examine the effectiveness of design changes to better accommodate the abilities and preferences of the large and growing aging population. Features Reviews important design considerations for older adults and presents a framework for design Provides a series of real-world case studies to ground design principles and guidelines Offers a unique set and broad array of design challenges, from the design of healthcare devices, to computer systems and apps, to transportation systems and robots Gives an overview of emerging technologies, their potential benefits to older adults, anticipated design considerations, and new and emerging approaches to evaluating design Covers these topics with designers in mind, providing the most up-to-date recommendations based on the scientific literature but in an accessible, easy-to-understand, non-technical manner

Winner of the 2019 Richard M. Kalish Innovative Publication Book Award 2019 - Gerontological Society of America This new edition provides easily accessible and usable guidelines for practitioners in the design community for older adults. It includes an updated overview of the demographic characteristics of older adult populations and the scientific knowledge base of the aging process relevant to design. New chapters include Existing and Emerging Technologies, Work and Volunteering, Social Engagement, and Leisure Activities. Also included is basic information on user-centered design and specific recommendations for conducting research with older adults. Features Focuses on design for diverse groups of older adults Introduces the latest scientific advances, but is easily accessible to practitioners and students Offers an emphasis on existing and emerging technologies within everyday contexts and activities Includes many examples of everyday activities and contexts, as well as new chapters Presents a new conceptual model linking design principles across a broad range of topics

General practice provides the first point of contact to medical
care for patients across the world. GPs have obligations to
patients in their care, to the government for responsible use of
resources, and to communities for the standard of health services
provided. Ethics is at the heart of health services, dealing with
fundamental questions about what ought to be valued, and why. The
two disciplines inevitably impact upon each other, and this book
brings them together to focus on practical ethics for general
practitioners.
