Donald Kausler is internationally renown in the field of aging research for his pioneering efforts in the field of aging memory. Since stepping down as editor of the journal Psychology and Aging he has devoted his time to compiling this comprehensive analysis and review of the effects of normal again on learning and memory. Beginning with discussions of classical and operant learning, Kausler discusses contemporary research on the learning of motor skills, stimulus discrimination, pattern recognition, verbal learning, and the transfer of learning to new domains. Written in an engaging and forthright style, the effects of normal aging are discussed with reference to sensory, short-term, long-term, episodic, semantic, and implicit memory.
