为什么要研究衰老的实验心理学？老龄化是一个被神话所掩盖的现象。这本书，这大大有助于澄清这些神话，涉及人类衰老的影响，进入实验心理学的传统内容领域的技能和行为，即感觉，知觉，注意力，学习，记忆，概念获得，解决问题和推理。这些领域中的每一个都与决定我们在日常世界中的功能的认知过程有关。所有的生物都会变老，当然也包括人类。人类有机体的独特之处在于它对自身衰老的意识。然而，仅仅意识到这一点并不能保证我们真正理解老年人的行为与年轻人的行为有何不同。这本书提供了大量的发现和分析，增强了我们对人类衰老的理解。
Why an experimental psychology of ageing? Ageing is a phenomenon that is shrouded in myths. This book, which contributes significantly to the clarification of those myths, deals with the effects of human ageing on the skills and behaviours that enter into the traditional content areas of experimental psychology, namely sensation, perception, attention, learning, memory, concept acquisition, problem solving, and reasoning. Each of these areas is concerned with cognitive processes that determine our functioning in the everyday world. All organisms grow old - including, most certainly, human beings. What makes the human organism unique is that it processes awareness of its own ageing. However, awareness alone does not assure a true understanding of how we differ behaviourally as elderly adults from what we were like as young adults. This book offers substantial findings and analyses that enhance our understanding of human ageing.
