What Do You Know About the Aging Process?
Many senior citizens are as ill informed about aging as
most younger people
 July 15, 2005 - SeniorJournal.com today begins a
series of daily quizzes about the aging process that have been developed
by Roger Hiemstra, Professor, Adult Education, Elmira College and Professor Emeritus,
Instructional Design and Adult Learning, Syracuse University,
Syracuse, NY.

These true or
false statements may sound simple, for example:
"Most old people have no interest in, or capacity
for, sexual relations."
"All five senses tend to decline in old age."
"Lung capacity tends to decline in old age."
The well researched and detailed answers by Hiemstra may
surprise many.

A new quiz will be added daily with links on the
Front Page and the Aging Section Page.
The goal of SeniorJournal.com is to help our
readers - senior citizens and baby boomers - become better informed
about the aging process, says editor Tucker Sutherland.
"With better knowledge will certainly come more
health and happiness in aging," he added.
The information by Hiemstra
was developed from several sources including from Facts on Aging (Palmore,
1977, 1981), the Rossman Adult Learning Inventory (Rossman &
Rossman, 1990), the Quiz on Alcohol Problems in Later Life, and
the Quiz on Depression in Later Life (the latter two developed
by Pratt, Wilson, Benthin, & Schmall, 1992).
His specialty is adult education and his Website is
loaded with information on this topic. (http://www-distance.syr.edu/).
