| Annotation | Refers to a quote by John Dewey in 1939, arguing that 'we are in the unpleasant and illogical condition of extolling maturity and depreciating age'. This paper, based on an address to the Association of Gerontology, suggests there is evidence of a general intellectual decline in later life, but there is equally strong support that this change need not be serious in its effects on daily living. |
