The National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) Monthly National Scam Advice Forum

Join for a webinar exploring why some older adults are more vulnerable to poor financial decisions, scams, and exploitation. There are multiple reasons why certain older adults may become poorer decision makers and consequently more vulnerable to scam, fraud, and financial exploitation. This presentation will provide an overview of research focused on financial decision making in older age, which spans neuroimaging, behavioral economics, cognitive neuroscience, and other empirical approaches.

Speaker: Duke Han, PhD, is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and tenured Professor of Psychology, Family Medicine, Neurology, and Gerontology at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on cognition and decision making in aging, with particular attention to factors that increase vulnerability to financial exploitation and dementia-related risk. Dr. Han directs an NIH-funded research program integrating neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioral economics, and holds leadership roles with the USC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and several national and international research initiatives. He is Editor-in-Chief of The Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and a recipient of the prestigious Paul B. Beeson Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging.
