DESCRIPTION:\nDistinguishing Cognitive Competence and Decision-Making Capacity  \n \nMarch 21, 2022\n \nSpeaker: Julie Blaskewicz \n \nAbout the presentation: The focus of this presentation will be to provide education and information useful to the law community to distinguish between cognitive competency and decision-making capacity in adults as they age. Variations in normative cognitive changes in adulthood will be discussed, as well as specific examples of conditions (e.g., delirium, mild cognitive impairment, dementia) that may result in non-normative cognitive changes that could impact decision-making. The four-component model of decisional capacity will be described, particularly regarding the relevance to legal decision-making. This will include observing, determining and evaluating diminished capacity. Various potential action steps will be discussed. Techniques for the law community to enhance client capacity and support aging clients will be provided.\n \nTo register for this session, go to [www.epcstlouis.org ](http://www.epcstlouis.org/)and click the link for the session.

She serves as Associate Dean of the Office of Graduate Studies, as well as the Doctoral Program Chair of Gerontology. Additional appointments include: the Leo Missinne Professor of Gerontology, an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Biomechanics, and Faculty Academic Assessment Coordinator.

As a result of her scholarly work and service in the field, Boron has been recognized as a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America (FGSA). She also serves on the APA Division 20: Adult Development and Aging Executive Committee and is on three editorial boards.\n \nAs the director of the CAPACITY Lab, Dr. Boron focuses on understanding how to help adults of all ages achieve and maintain their cognitive and physical capacity so that they can experience high quality of life and independent lifestyles. This is with the understanding that each person is different in terms of their capabilities and goals. To achieve this, she focuses on person-level characteristics associated with variability in cognitive, physical, and behavioral resilience and change in individuals and couples throughout adulthood. Her work has investigated differential longitudinal trajectories of cognitive change in adults, and person-level indicators of change, such as personality, cognitive training, gait, and health behaviors, such as alcohol consumption, physical activity, chronic disease, and eating behaviors. Dr. Boron has also investigated the impact of cognitive and behavioral interventions in older adults, and the impact on everyday problem solving and functioning. She collaborates with other researchers across the UN system, as well as at other universities.\n \nEPCSTL has requested approval for continuing education in the following areas: Banking, CLE, CPE, CFP   \n \n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n \n
