Written as an introduction to the psychology of ageing for the layperson, this book covers all the principal areas of the psychology of ageing - perception, intelligence, memory, language, personality and the dementias. Written in a non-specialist language, no prior knowledge in psychology is expected or necessary. The book aims to provide readers with the essence of current thinking on the subject, and should also be useful to psychologists looking for a primer or revision aid. Psychological terms are explained in some depth, so that the book may be used as a basis and reference for further reading. The author provides a comprehensive set of references and "suggested reading" sections at the end of each chapter, for readers who want to pursue a particular issue further.
