Stacey Wood, Molly Mason Jones Chair in Psychology and professor of psychology, Bloomberg‘s law podcast about cognitive decline and patterns of denial in older adults. “In older adults as a group, there is some evidence that they tend to be perhaps a little overconfident in their abilities,” Wood said. “I do see a lot of clients who kind of deny that there’s any difficulty, even in the face of blatant functional deficits.”

The podcast episode focused on 96-year-old Pauline Newman, a federal judge whom the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is investigating for fitness of service.
