AnnotationThe authors briefly review how changes in brain and in cognitive and social functioning, across the spectrum from normal to pathological ageing, can lead to decision-making impairments that increase risk of abuse in many life domains (e.g., health care, social engagement, financial management). Their review specifically focuses on emerging research which identifies neural, cognitive and social markers of declining financial decision-making capacity in older adults. The authors highlight how these findings are opening avenues for early detection and new interventions to reduce risk of exploitation. (RH).
