Biography

Dr. Yoshiko Miyata Ishioka is a psychologist and gerontologist with a deep interest in understanding the dynamic interplay between physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of functioning across the lifespan. Her research work emphasizes the importance of enjoying thinking, exercising, and collaborating as key components of healthy aging. She has conducted qualitative and quantitative research, gathering data through interviews and surveys to examine the diverse changes in body and mind as people age. Her findings focus on how individual differences in cognitive abilities manifest in later life, and how these differences are influenced by past experiences, including education, work, housework, and leisure activities.
