Reviews
"This excellent book provides an elegant account of the elements of cognitive aging that will likely set the stage for future research and theory in the field. Paul Verhaeghen carries out meta-analytic reviews of practically all of the available findings on age-related differences in the speed and accuracy of cognitive processing. From his comprehensive treatment of the available data in the field, he carefully extracts the essential principles or elements of cognitive aging. The outcome is an empirically based overview and framework that will be highly useful, if not essential, to the conceptualization of much of the new research and theory in the field of cognitive aging. This book is likely to become a classic in the field of cognitive aging and the go-to source for a summary of the essential findings." William J. Hoyer, Professor of Psychology, Syracuse University "People who know Paul Verhaeghen are invariably impressed by his creativity, and by his sense of humor. Both of these qualities are evident in this book as he elegantly describes the rich and powerful inferences that can be derived from rigorous quantitative integrations of the results of many small-scale studies." Timothy Salthouse, Brown-Forman Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia
