Listening involves hearing, but it is much more than just the physiological act of your ears perceiving a sound and transmitting the auditory sensation to your brain. Listening is a complex psychological process that can be defined as the process of physically hearing, interpreting that sound, and understanding the significance of it” (Hayes, 1991). Body Paragraph #2- Understand the impact
As a carer non-verbal communication will become important, body language, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and tone of voice will have to be taken into account when communicating with a sufferer. As the dementia progresses, it gets more difficult for the sufferer to put a sentence together, regular responses like ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ will be maintained for the longest period of time, in the later stages of dementia the person may find it difficult to speak at all. 2. Explain how physical and mental health factors may need to be considered when communicating with an individual with dementia Individuals with dementia may have other difficulties such as loss of hearing. It is therefore important to ensure that any hearing aids are working well and that you speak in a loud clear voice so you can be understood.
The combination of all these attribute to a serious communication loss. As a result older adults in my workplace with dementia face more than just communication difficulties such as unfamiliar surroundings, unfamiliar faces, routines and instructions to name a few which can be hard to follow so will also disrupt communication. For me in my job role it is imperative that these individuals with these language deficits and other cognitive impairments and my responsibility to facilitate the communication barrier. To do this a report is written up and kept to be updated when necessary having all the individuals details recorded helps to look back and access whenever necessary e.g. : 1) Being aware that there is some communication deficit 2) Being aware at what stage the communication difficulties are at (needing basic encouragement, right up to maybe sign or card pictures.)
Not all hypnotherapy is carried out on a one to one basis, for instance it can be used in group therapy for weight loss. The therapist would be unable to use a personalised screed in this setting, everybody there would be different, and therefore will all need different things from a screed. Hypnotherapy treatments can be pre-recorded, duplicated, and distributed to reach a larger audience, and a personalised screed would not be suitable in this

UNIT 4222-656 Understand the factors affecting older people Outcome 1 1) As adults age, many changes occur: memory loss, bones and joints, eyes and ears, digestive and metabolic, urogenital, dental, skin and functional abilities problems. 2) Aging is inevitable and is in a sense a gradual loss of life functions. The process is unique and different for each individual. While for some aging means grey hair, few kilos or bad hearing, for others is a much more complex transformation, because the aging process brings social and emotional change and loss into their lives. Older relatives die, then loss of a spouse affects many.
The word feel may be used often. In Kinaesthetic Modality you would feel a future where you eventually get your desires within your grasp. LEM for this modality will usually be down to the right. In auditory state we tend to think in terms of sounds or language, our speech and writing will tend to contain auditory words such as hear and listen, refer to things by their loudness or quietness, or by their frequency.

Outline and evaluate research into the effects of age and anxiety on E.W.T Eye witness testimony (E.W.T) is one type of memory that has particular relevance to real life. Juries and British police officers rely on eye witness testimony on a daily basis. E.W.T is criticised enough due to the effects of misleading questions (Loftus 1992.) However also there is a lot of research to suggest that E.W.T isn’t as reliable as previously thought, especially when other factors such as anxiety and age are applied. There’s evidence to prove that anxiety and stress has a conflicting effect on a witnesses recall.
Fathers The role a father plays in the family has changed drastically over the past few decades. The father no longer has a permanent role to play in the family; he is now playing a bigger role at home while still being dominant when it comes to the job market. This creates a lot of confusion. Some fathers adapt easy to this new varying role, but some fathers feel like they are loosing their masculinity because they have to apply some of the feminine values when nursing their son. The shifting role of the father is very controversial subject, and there is therefor a lot articles where people express their opinions on the subject.
