Handbook of Cognitive Aging

<p align=left>Provides a unique perspective. I am particularly impressed with the sections on innovative design and methods to investigate cognitive aging and the integrative perspectives. None of the existing texts covers this material to the same level. <br />-Donna J. La Voie <em>Saint Louis University <br /></em><br />The emphasis on integrating the literature with theoretical and methodological innovations could have a far-reaching impact on the field. <br />-Deb McGinnis <em>Oakland University </em><br /><br />The<strong> Handbook of Cognitive Aging: Interdisciplinary Perspectives </strong>clarifies the differences in patterns and processes of cognitive aging. Along with a comprehensive review of current research editors Scott M. Hofer and Duane F. Alwin provide a solid foundation for building a multidisciplinary agenda that will stimulate further rigorous research into these complex factors. <br /><br /><strong>Key Features </strong></p><ul><li>Gathers the widest possible range of perspectives by including cognitive aging experts in various disciplines while maintaining a degree of unity across chapters </li><li>Examines the limitations of the extant literature particularly in research design and measurement and offers new suggestions to guide future research </li><li>Highlights the broad scope of the field with topics ranging from demography to development to neuroscience offering the most complete coverage available on cognitive aging</li></ul>
