Beskrivning
Decades of research have demonstrated that normal aging is accompanied by cognitive change. Much of this change has been conceptualized as a decline in function. However, age-related changes are not universal, and decrements in older adult performance may be moderated by experience, genetics, and environmental factors. Cognitive aging research to date has also largely emphasized biological changes in the brain, with less evaluation of the range of external contributors to behavioral manifestations of age-related decrements in performance. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge cognitive aging research through the lens of a life course perspective that takes into account both behavioral and neural changes. Focusing on the fundamental principles that characterize a life course approach - genetics, early life experiences, motivation, emotion, social contexts, and lifestyle interventions - this handbook is an essential resource for researchers in cognition, aging, and gerontology.

Mer om författaren

Ayanna K. Thomas is Professor of Psychology at Tufts University, Massachusetts. She takes a translational approach to the study of memory and age-related changes in cognition by applying basic science findings to areas such as eyewitness memory, education, and cognitive aging. Angela Gutchess is Associate Professor of Psychology at Brandeis University, Massachusetts, with appointments in the Neuroscience Program and the Volen Center for Complex Systems. Her research investigates the influence of age and culture on memory and social cognition, using behavioral, neuroimaging (fMRI), electrophysiological (EEG), and patient research methods.

'A go-to resource for both novice and expert researchers, this timely handbook takes a life course perspective on cognitive aging - from biology to culture. Expert chapters synthesize new evidence in core cognitive domains, review novel approaches to interventions and lifespan trajectories, and offer fresh perspectives on emotional, social, and lifestyle influences on the aging mind.' Patricia A. Reuter-Lorenz
