From memory to mental health issues, this book considers changes in the brain as we grow older to examine how age impacts on how we think and behave. Focusing particularly on the effects of age on everyday cognitive functioning, this is essential reading for those studying adult development and the psychology of ageing.
We live in an ageing society. From dementia and depression, to the everyday changes that affect our capacity to make decisions, psychologists are tackling the daily challenges faced by individuals and society as a whole. What types of questions are being investigated by psychologists today? What are the emerging areas that will be explored by researchers tomorrow?
