The older adult represents a unique population for studying cognition and language because of the many challenges that are presented with investigating this population, including individual differences in education, life experiences, health issues, social identity, as well as gender.

As of January 2019, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.
