The rating of elderly people’s responsibility for their actions

Summary/Abstract: Among many circumstances affecting a person’s functioning there are also those inscribed in the individual life cycle, i.e. person’s age, as well as features and ailments connected with it. The time of ageing is especially interesting. The article describes a set of changes considered to be the symptoms of ageing and age itself, since research confirms that in spite of many individual differences, there is such a thing as a set of features called “the old age psyche”. The aim of this paper is to try to answer the question about the impact of changes experienced by an older person on the responsibility for actions taken. In this research, among other things, the recall of basic information about human acts, and the distinction between ageing pathologically and physiologically is very helpful.
