Publisher's Synopsis
Intended for researchers, clinicians and graduate students in the field, this book provides a review and reference source for scientific and professional literature on the psychology of adult development and ageing. Basic behavioural processes are covered to help describe and explain changes in behaviour and capacities that occur with advancing age, as revealed in research. The explanation of phenomena involves a range of factors; these include biological influences, disease, and such social influences as generational differences and historical events.
