This dissertation by Mattias Forsblad explores the use of distributed cognition in home environments, specifically focusing on how older adults manage prospective memory situations. The study reveals that older adults perform better in real-life settings compared to laboratory settings due to their developed skill in using their environment to aid memory. Forsblad introduces distributed cognition to the field of prospective memory and conducts a cognitive ethnography across eight environments over two years. The findings highlight the intelligent use of space and tools by older adults to manage cognitive tasks, supporting the view that distributed cognition is a general feature of human cognition. This work is intended for researchers in cognitive science, gerontology, and human-centered systems.

"Music and the Aging Brain describes brain functioning in aging and addresses the power of music to protect the brain from loss of function and how to cope with the ravages of brain diseases that accompany aging. By studying the power of music in aging through the lens of neuroscience, behavioral, and clinical science, the book explains brain organization and function. Written for those researching the brain and aging, the book provides solid examples of research fundamentals, including rigorous standards for sample selection, control groups, description of intervention activities, measures of health outcomes, statistical methods, and logically stated conclusions."--Publisher's description.
