ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book is designed to stimulate future research in memory and aging by providing testable concepts and hypotheses which have the potential of serving as viable basis for programs of research. A wide range of substantive issues have been examined by investigators from different theoretical and clinical persuasions in the preceding chapters. Among the examined topics which included memory theories, memory testing, mnemonic aids, and strategies in localizing memory loss, and it believes the following six areas could provide new directions for future research. They are Memory Functions and Neurological Changes, Complexity Of Memory-Aging Functions, Defining Sufficient Conditions for Memory Aging, Memory Tempo, Memory Diagnosis and Mnemonic Strategies and Individual Differences. Given the wide range of possible areas for advances in memory and aging research, it appears appropriate to conclude this volume by sharing Professor A. T. Welford's advice at the memorial conference.
