AGING AND SENSORY CHANGE--A CHALLENGE TO RESEARCH

美国老年医学学会老龄化和感官变化工作组 美国提议召开为期一天的科学会议， 识别与年龄相关的感觉的最新研究现状 变化；为未来的研究提供方向；并解决多重 与年龄相关的感官经常伴随的交互条件 减损。视觉、听觉、化学感觉和 体感将单独和共同处理。 该计划的目标是提高人们对 研究人员和院士的年龄相关感官研究； 综合目前的文献和对感觉系统的研究 视觉、听觉、化学感觉和体感及多重互动 影响；确定每个感官领域未来研究的优先领域 和互动效果；制作哪些文件的会议记录 科学会议并确定未来的研究重点， 强调与年龄相关的感官的多重交互性质 变化；在研究人员中传播会议记录， 政策制定者和资助者。这次会议将于1990年11月16日举行， 在马萨诸塞州波士顿，就在GSA年度 在那个地点举行的科学会议。

The Aging and Sensory Change Task Force of The Gerontological Society of America proposes to convene a one-day scientific meeting which identifies the current state-of the art research on age-related sensory change; offers direction for future research; and addresses the multiple interactive conditions which often accompany age-related sensory impairment. The sensory systems of vision, hearing, chemosensory and somatosensory will be addressed individually and collectively. The objectives for this program are to promote awareness and need for age-related sensory research among researchers and academicians; synthesize the current literature and research in sensory systems of vision, hearing, chemosensory and somatosensory and multiple interactive effects; identify priority areas for future research in each sensory area and interactive effects; produce conference proceedings which document the scientific meeting and also identify future research priorities, highlighting the multiple interactive nature of age-related sensory change; and disseminate conference proceedings among researchers, policymakers and funders. This meeting will be held November 16, 1990, in Boston , Massachusetts, immediately preceding the GSA's annual scientific meeting in that location.
