Cognitive Limitations in Aging and Psychopathology

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511720413

This book examines the major progress made in recent psychological science in understanding the cognitive control of thought, emotion, and behavior and what happens when that control is diminished as a result of aging, depression, developmental disabilities, or psychopathology. Each chapter of this volume reports the most recent research by a leading researcher on the international stage. Topics include the effects on thought, emotion, and behavior by limitations in working memory, cognitive control, attention, inhibition, and reasoning processes. Other chapters review standard and emerging research paradigms and new findings on limitations in cognitive functioning associated with aging and psychopathology. The explicit goal behind this volume was to facilitate cross-area research and training by familiarizing researchers with paradigms and findings in areas different from but related to their own.

' … the editors have assembled a strong cast of researchers to discuss the nature and causes of cognitive impairment in psychiatric disease and normal aging … the writer is clear and informative and this book should prove useful to any psychologist interested in aging or psychopathology.'
