| Annotation | Based on the Aging and Skill Conference 1995 sponsored by the Center for Applied Cognitive Research on Aging, the aim of this book is to contribute to the understanding of whether, how, when, and why skills may decline as a function of age. Topics covered include: state models of paired associate learning: the general acquisition, decrement, and training hypotheses; the use of signal detection theory in research on age-related differences in movement control; control theoretic approaches to age-related differences in skilled performance; ageing and dual-task performance; ageing and memory; the effects of display layout on keeping track of visual-spatial information; assessing age-related differences in the long-term retention of skills; ageing and the acquisition of computer skills; cognitive theory and word processing training; and instructional design for older computer users: the influence of cognitive factors.
