Decades of research have demonstrated that normal aging accompanies cognitive change. Much of this change has been conceptualized as a decline in function. However, age-related changes are not universal. Oft-found decrements in older adult performance may be moderated by experience, genetics, and environmental factors. To date, cognitive aging has largely emphasized biological changes in the brain, with less evaluation of the range of external contributors to behavioral manifestations of age-related decrements in performance. The goal of this book is to examine cognitive aging through the lens of a life course perspective. Understanding cognition within the context of both the life-span (aging) and the life-course (experience) is a relatively new approach to the field of cognitive aging. However, the approach has already pushed the field forward in theoretically and practically important ways. This edited volume will focus on fundamental principles that characterize a life course approach to cognitive aging by (1) presenting an overview of lifespan and life course models of cognitive aging; (2) presenting the recent state of domain-specific models; (3) considering older cognition in socioemotional contexts; (4) considering the influences of early life and biological predispositions (5) and ending with a review of later life interventions.

Presented in this volume is a discussion of current literature and theoretical issues relating to three aspects of late-life age-related cognitive change. Firstly, evidence regarding aging and the basic mental processes of attention, motor control, memory, language, problem-solving, and intelligence are presented. Secondly, the role of personal traits such as personality and self-efficacy in the aging of cognitive function are developed, along with self-awareness of cognitive processes and age changes in the monitoring of these processes. Thirdly, consideration is given to the study of interve

"Aging and Creativity examines the effects of aging on creative functioning, including age-related changes in cognition, personality, and motivation that affect performance or output. The book reviews and summarizes both lab-based and real-world-based studies. Changes in working memory, speed of processing, learning efficiency, and retrieval from long-term memory are all discussed as factors influencing creativity, as are health changes and changes in social roles with later age. The book concludes with practical implications of age effects on creativity for older people in work and everyday life. Key features: explores cognition and creativity from early adulthood through old age; considers creativity and aging from an evidence-based perspective; includes biological, psychological, and social approaches to aging and creativity; covers age effects on perception, processing speed, working memory, and long-term memory; discusses effects of health and social role changes with age on creativity; examines links between productivity, motivation, and creativity over age." --
