Provides a firm theoretical grounding for the increasing movement
of cognitive psychologists, neuropsychologists and their students
beyond the laboratory, in an attempt to understand human cognitive
abilities as they are manifested in natural contexts. The pros and
cons of the laboratory and the real world - the problems of
generalizability versus rigor - are thoroughly analyzed, and
practical escapes from what has become a false dichotomy are
suggested. The authors present relevant data that open up new
directions for those studying cognitive aging. Finally, they
consider the applications of the new knowledge for clinicians and
educators. Cognitive and experimental scientists should find this
review of cognition in everyday life in adulthood and old age a
valuable resource.
