[Isl] FW: ISL Fall Speaker, Dr. George Rebok, Thursday December 3rd, 3:30pm, EST

[Callie Kindelsperger]

Hi Folks,

This is just a friendly reminder of our upcoming ISL Fall Speaker, Dr. George Rebok, will be presenting virtually via Zoom at 3:30pm  EST on Thursday, December 3rd, if you are interested in attending. More details below:

Professor George Rebok of Johns Hopkins University to speak December 3 on cognitive training
You are invited to join Professor George Rebok, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins University for his talk on “Preventing Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s Dementia: The Evidence for Cognitive Training.”

Dr. Rebok’s address, at 3:30 p.m. December 3, is part of the Institute for Successful Longevity’s Speaker Series. Each fall and spring semester, the institute brings in an expert on aging to talk about their work and to discuss trends in longevity research.

Dr. Rebok’s address will be virtual, via the Zoom platform. For a link to the Zoom event, please send an email to ISL at fsu.edu<mailto:ISL at fsu.edu>.

If you have never used Zoom, the Institute for Successful Longevity has put together guides that show you how to set up a Zoom account and join a meeting. You can read or download the Zoom guides at ISL Zoom Guides<https://isl.fsu.edu/article/isl-launches-zoom-initiative-help-older-adults-fight-social-isolation>.

Since joining the Johns Hopkins University faculty in 1989, Rebok has pursued research in two interrelated areas: 1) the design and implementation of preventive trials targeted at childhood antecedents of adolescent and adult psychopathology, including depression, early achievement problems, and poor concentration, and 2) the neurocognitive predictors of functional abilities and decline in demented and nondemented older adults and their modifiability through interactive cognitive interventions. His two research streams converge around a common focus on attentional and cognitive parameters of maladaptive behavior, plasticity of functioning, perceived competence or self-efficacy as a variable linking physiological, psychological, and social function, and short- and long-term outcomes of preventive intervention and treatment.

We hope to see you all there and please add the Zoom link to your calendars if you can attend!

Sincerely,
Callie Kindelsperger
