None of the existing texts covers this material to the same level.” -Donna J. La Voie, Saint Louis University “The emphasis on integrating the literature with theoretical and methodological innovations could have a far-reaching impact on the field.” -Deb McGinnis, Oakland University The Handbook of Cognitive Aging: Interdisciplinary Perspectives clarifies the differences in patterns and processes of cognitive aging.
