Margie E. Lachman is an American psychologist. She is the Minnie and Harold Fierman Professor of Psychology at Brandeis University,[1] director of the Lifespan Developmental Psychology Lab[2] and the director of the Boston Roybal Center for Active Lifestyle Interventions.[3] She was editor of the Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences (2000-2003), and has edited two volumes on midlife development.[4][5] She is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, Division 20[6] and the Gerontological Society of America.[7] Lachman’s research is in the area of lifespan development with a focus on midlife and later life. Her current work is aimed at identifying psychosocial (e.g., sense of control)[8] and behavioral (e.g., physical exercise) factors[9] that can protect against, minimize, or compensate for declines in cognition (e.g., memory)[10] and health.[11] She is conducting studies to examine long-term predictors of psychological and physical health,[12] laboratory-based experiments to identify psychological and physiological processes involved in aging-related changes,[13] especially in memory, and intervention studies[14] to enhance performance and promote adaptive functioning through active engagement and physical activity.[15]
Lachman has published numerous chapters and journal articles on these topics and has appeared on CBS Sunday Morning[16] and the NPR TED Radio Hour.[17] Lachman was a member of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development[18] and is currently collaborating on a 20-year longitudinal follow-up of the original MacArthur midlife sample.[19] She has conducted intervention studies designed to enhance the sense of control over memory and physical exercise.[14]
Selected awards and honors[edit]
She received the Distinguished Research Achievement Award from the American Psychological Association, Division on Adult Development and Aging in 2003,[20] and the Distinguished Career Contribution to Gerontology Award in Behavioral and Social Sciences from the Gerontological Society of America in 2015.[21] In 2021 she received the Distinguished Mentorship in Gerontology Award from the Gerontological Society of America Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences.[22]
