Do memory abilities decline with aging? Are changes in memory
universal or differential? Do they occur similarly or differently
for all types of memory and to all aging persons? These are some of
the principal questions explored in the Victoria Longitudinal Study
and presented in this volume. Although there is a large amount of
research comparing the memory performance of younger and older
adults, few studies have followed the same older adults over time.
Only through the use of such longitudinal methods can one directly
observe changes in memory functioning with aging. This monograph
reports recent longitudinal data following the same individuals
over a six-year period. The authors consider a variety of
theoretical and methodological issues related to memory and aging.
In addition, they report analyses of data to examine questions such
as: are average changes in performance associated with age, cohort,
or both? are there substantial individual differences in memory
change in later life or are people changing in similar fashion?;
and what component processes predict changes in complex memory
performance in adulthood?
