Definition(s)

  • The productivity and ingenuity of those who remain engaged in or discover new talents in the later years of life directly challenge negative perceptions of aging. Contemporary cultural messages overwhelmingly place value upon newness and youth and deride that which is old or aged. [Source: Encyclopedia of Giftedness, Creativity, and Talent; Elderly, Gifted]
