Answer to Question 1

Although answers will be highly individualized, look for an appreciation of the skills
characteristic of each age group.

Answer to Question 2

Answers should note the difficulty older adults have in making fast responses and
therefore should recommend an untimed test. An emphasis should be placed on
real-life and adaptive problem-solving skills. And the test should be standardized on
older adults.
