DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Georgia Tech research-training program is to provide an excellent academic context for training predoctoral and postdoctoral students for research in Cogntive Aging. Because of the importance of cognitive aging to understanding adult development and aging, a better understanding of the relationship among various cognitive processes and aging is needed. The current program provides research training in this important area. The core faculty at Georgia Tech provides expertise in a diverse set of domains in Cognitive Aging, including memory, language, problem solving, attention, skill learning, human factors, individual differences, metacognition, social cognition, neuropsychology and neuroscience of cognition and aging, and developmental methodology. Trainees are exposed to core courses in cognitive and developmental psychology, specialty courses and seminars in cognitive aging, weekly research seminars, colloquia with visiting scientists, and a strong curriculum in methodology. The program has been funded for fifteen years. During that period twenty-two predoctoral and eleven postdoctoral trainees have been supported. The same level of training support is requested in this renewal application: five predoctoral trainees and two postdoctoral trainees. Since the last competitive application in 1997, the Cognitive Aging program at Georgia Tech has lost two core faculty members, but these faculty have been replaced increasing the breadth of the program. In addition, seven new faculty have become consultant faculty in the training program with ten-consultant faculty in total available to students as mentors.

描述（由申请人提供）：佐治亚州技术研究培训计划的目标是为培训培训前和博士后学生提供出色的学术背景，以进行同学衰老研究。由于认知衰老对了解成人发展和衰老的重要性，因此需要更好地理解各种认知过程和衰老之间的关系。当前的计划在这一重要领域提供了研究培训。佐治亚理工学院的核心教师在认知衰老的各种领域中提供了专业知识，包括记忆，语言，问题解决，注意力，技能学习，人为因素，个体差异，元认知，社会认知，神经心理学，神经心理学以及对认知和aging的神经科学，以及发展方法。 学员接触了认知和发展心理学，专业课程和认知衰老的专业课程，每周研究研讨会，与访问科学家的教区和强大的方法论。该计划已资助了15年。在此期间，已经支持了22名二十二个占主导地位和11名博士后学员。 在此续签申请中要求提供相同水平的培训支持：五名摄政学员和两名博士后学员。自1997年上一次竞争性申请以来，佐治亚理工学院的认知老化计划失去了两名核心教师，但是这些教师已被取代，增加了该计划的广度。此外，七个新教师已成为培训计划的顾问教师，十个教师总共可以作为导师。
