"By linking laboratory findings to real world outcomes, the authors thoroughly explore the implications of basic research in cognition and aging for the effective use of increasingly limited medical resources. This book will be useful to researchers in applied cognitive aging and will be an invaluable resource to health practitioners and policy makers, as well."--Book Jacket.
