Actualization of Potential Life Experience in Normal Aging
Abstract
The paper search mechanisms for maintaining personality well-being at the stage of late ontogenesis, which is important for neuropsychology, gerontology and psychology. The authors analyze the preserved cognitive resource, acquired at the previous age stages, as a resource for life experience mobilization and providing a
definite level of intellectual and mental indicators in normal aging. The experience proves that preserved self-regulating abilities in elderly are the main condition of actualizing life experience potential. Specially organized environment in thematic art-groups providing the process of goal-oriented activity and adequate interpersonal
interaction is viewed as a determining factor of life experience implementation. The dynamics of viability components reflecting sustainable strategies of self-regulation is investigated and the results of this investigation are presented.
Keywords: potential life experience, normal aging, viability, cognitive resource.
