Description
Cognitive and Social Neuroscience of Aging provides an in-depth exploration of how the brain changes throughout the lifespan and how these changes affect cognitive and social functioning. Written by leading researcher Angela Gutchess, this Cambridge Fundamentals text integrates cutting-edge neuroscience research with practical insights into aging processes.
The book covers key topics including age-related changes in brain structure and function, memory systems, attention, executive function, and social cognition. It examines how older adults maintain cognitive abilities despite neural changes and explores the neural basis of social relationships and emotional regulation in aging. Grounded in empirical research and contemporary neuroscientific methods, the text is essential reading for students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding the biological foundations of cognitive aging and age-related changes in social behavior.
