Description
Marjorie Getz describes in 2023 a class project that compares how younger and older adults remember short stories, inside a course on aging. Hands on learning anchors the nursing college program she teaches. Students read tales, then compared their recall with that of older learners in a community program.
Essays from the students were coded for themes. Older readers held both the core points and side details, tying them to life knowledge from years of reading. Their wider world knowledge shaped how stories were framed and recalled. The project blends service, contact across ages, and reflection for the students.
