Timothy A. Salthouse, Brown-Forman Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia, will write a book on the implications of age-related cognitive differences for functioning in society and particularly in the workplace. The book will explore why age-related declines in cognitive functioning are the norm for most cognitive skills yet most decision makers are older—suggesting more central roles than previously thought for past experience and knowledge in daily activities and decision making.
