Editorial Reviews
K. Warner Schaie Ph.D., Evan Pugh Professor of Human Development and Psychology and Director -- Gerontology Center -- Pennsylvania State University
"The authors have succeeded in presenting much of what is known in the scientific community about cognitive aging and memory into a language that's easy for readers without scientific or medical backgrounds. The exercises are similar to those used successfully in laboratory studies to improve a variety of cognitive skills and enhance mental flexibility in normal, aging people."
