As an introduction to the cognitive neurological bases of aging, an overview of cognitive psychological, neurological, and cognitive neuroscientific research on aging is presented. Recent aging studies on perception and attention, declarative and procedural memory, priming, and working memory are reviewed. Theoretical views of processing speed, processing resource, inhibition, and sensory function are discussed along with the constraints of generalized aging models based on single mechanism.
