Memory and Aging

This volume takes a contemporary look at the impact of aging on short-term and working memory, and on long-term explicit and implicit memory. It offers the latest neuroscientific data on the physiological and health perspectives, as well as the social, cultural, and cross-cultural consequences. Each contributor is a world-renowned researcher in memory.
