Cognitive Aging - A Primer (Paperback)

As our society ages and the importance of managing information and technology in daily life increases - even in homes and communities - the topic of cognitive aging is becoming increasingly important.
Cognitive Aging: A Primer is a comprehensive and accessible overview of how the cognitive system changes as a function of normal aging, as well as what areas of cognitive function are more resistant to age changes. Each chapter is written by a distinguished researcher with expert knowledge and considerable hands-on research expertise in his/her topic.
Cognitive Aging: A Primer reviews all core topics, and is divided into four sections. The first section provides an overview of basic issues and mechanisms, while the second discusses the important topics of attention and memory, and includes a chapter on the cognitive neuropsychology of the aging brain. A third section focuses on language and speech, while the final section discusses some of the implications of age- related changes in cognitive function for everyday life.
This volume is designed to fulfill a need for a review of this important topic accessible to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, as well as to provide thoughtful, comprehensive, and highly readable overviews of various aspects of cognitive aging to individuals from all disciplines.
