Description: Cognitive and Social Neuroscience of Aging by Angela Gutchess Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book introduces readers to brain changes with age. It covers a breadth of abilities, from cognitive to social and emotional, and focuses on how research revealing the plasticity of the brain has changed thinking about aging. It does not assume an extensive background in neuroanatomy, by including many images. Publisher Description Cognitive and Social Neuroscience of Aging is an introduction to how aging affects the brain, intended for audiences with some knowledge of psychology, aging, or neuroscience. The book includes figures illustrating brain regions so that extensive familiarity with neuroanatomy is not a pre-requisite. The depth of coverage also makes this book appropriate for those with considerable knowledge about aging. This book adopts an integrative perspective, including topics such as memory, cognition, cognitive training, emotion, and social processes. Topics include consideration of individual differences and the impact of disorders (e.g. Alzheimers disease) on brain function with age. Although many declines occur with age, cognitive neuroscience research reveals plasticity and adaptation in the brain as a function of normal aging. This book is written with this perspective in mind, emphasizing the ways in which neuroscience methods have enriched and changed thinking about aging.
