The Theories of Aging

Theories provide a framework and an explanation for behavior. From an aging perspective, theories help us to understand how and why development occurs.
•Discuss the primary characteristics of age-irrelevant theories and age-change theories. What are the fundamental principles of both types of theories? In what ways are they similar, and in what ways do they differ? Explain how each of these theories has individually and collectively contributed to our understanding of the psychology of aging.

•Compare and contrast traditional behaviorism principles with the cognitive/social learning approach. How do cognitive behaviorists like Albert Bandura approach human behavior differently than traditional behaviorists? Support your discussion with one example from real life that deals with an aspect of aging.
