Decisions large and small play a fundamental role in shaping life
course trajectories of health and well-being: decisions draw upon
an individual's capacity for self-regulation and self-control,
their ability to keep long-term goals in mind, and their
willingness to place appropriate value on their future well-being.
Aging and Decision Making addresses the specific cognitive and
affective processes that account for age-related changes in
decision making, targeting interventions to compensate for
vulnerabilities and leverage strengths in the aging individual.
This book focuses on four dominant approaches that characterize the
current state of decision-making science and aging - neuroscience,
behavioral mechanisms, competence models, and applied perspectives.
Underscoring that choice is a ubiquitous component of everyday
functioning, Aging and Decision Making examines the implications of
how we invest our limited social, temporal, psychological,
financial, and physical resources, and lays essential groundwork
for the design of decision supportive interventions for adaptive
aging that take into account individual capacities and context
variables.
