What was the issue with Levinson’s perspective on adulthood?
Sample size of only 40, all were males
Most contemporary theorists consider what perspective?
Life-span perspective
What makes up the lifespan perspective?
Early phase development (childhood and adolescence) and later phase development (young adulthood, middle age, old age)
Human development across the lifespan is views as a ___________ and _________ process?
Dynamic, complex
Human development across the lifespan views humans as wanting what?
Competence and role mastery
OT views development across the lifespan as what approach?
Bottom-up
What is the first assumption of the OFM?
Adults strive to have feelings of satisfaction, self-efficacy, and self-esteem
According to the OFM, where are the feelings of satisfaction, self-efficacy, and self-esteem derived from?
Being able to perform something successfully, control of own life, being competent in life roles
Belief you can do something
Self-efficacy
Examples of self-maintenance roles
ADLs, IADLs, home management, caregiver, exercise
Examples of self-advancement roles
enabling/betterment of self
Examples of self-enhancement roles
leisure, club member, social participation
Second assumption of the OFM?
Adults’ performance ability to carry out one’s roles, tasks, and activities based upon: abilities, skills, and capacities, habits
Remediation vs adaptation
Remediation= rebuild, restore, adaptation= compensatory ideas
Third assumption of OFM?
Adults’ satisfactory performance ability in life is based upon context and environment
Difference between context and environment?
Context is bigger
Changes in vision with age
decreased tissue elasticity, decreased strength in eye, nearsightedness, dry eyes, macular degeneration, decreased night vision, driving
Prevention for age related vision changes?
Adequate lighting, get rid of tripping hazards, large print, driving eval
Age related changes with hearing
Decreased, safety issues, hard to hear high frequency
Age related hearing changes prevention?
Cancel out harmful sounds
Tactile age related changes
Decreased response to stimuli
Prevention tactile age related changes
Make habit to examine skin, remove sharp objects
Vestibular changes with age
decreases with age, decreased righting reactions, decreased balance
Prevention vestibular age related changes?
Rugs removed, other trip hazzards
Age related changes PNS and CNS?
neuron loss, decrease axons, slower nerve conduction
Prevention CNS/PNS degeneration
Keep mind active
Age related changes taste/smell/tactile
increase threshold, inability to detect aromas, food may seem tasteless
Prevention age related changes taste/smell/tactile
Large label with food expiration dates, gas detectors in home
Age related changes in muscles
decrease in size, increase fatigue, decrease strength
Prevention muscle degeneration
Staying active
Age related changes in joints/bones
Ligaments and tendons less elastic, decrease in synovial fluid, hardened cartilage, decreased bone density
Prevention in joints/bones age related changes
Activity to keep blood flowing to bones
Age related cognitive changes
fluid intelligence is more difficult, memory and recall more difficult
Age related cognitive changes
decrease in pace maker cells, changes in artery elasticity, stiffening joints

What would an OT do within the biomedical model?
Preparatory methods, positioning, ROM, splinting, universal cuff, ADLs (grooming, transfers, toileting, dressing)
Where is the rehabilitative model used?
TCU, simulated occupations (actually showering/dressing/walking)
