Everyday Memory and Aging is a comprehensive handbook which
touches virtually every aspect of current everyday memory
research and methodology as they relate to aging. This book
demonstrates that the results of divergent approaches to the
study of everyday memory and aging frequently dovetail, and
it widens significantly the scope of investigation and know-
ledge in the field.
