you identify more positive beliefs or negative beliefs? •How did age-related changes in sensory, perception, and cognition affect your beliefs?

After completing this week’s readings, generate a list of beliefs you have about aging and older people. Compare your list with the stereotypes presented in Table 3.1: Traits Associated with Stereotypes of Older Adults. (Mehrotra & Wagner, 2009, 102). Answer the following questions:
•Did you identify more positive beliefs or negative beliefs?
•How did age-related changes in sensory, perception, and cognition affect your beliefs?
•What are sources you used to develop your beliefs? (ex. family, media, etc.)
•Would you like people to have these beliefs about you when you become old? Why or why not?
