ABSTRACT

This chapter is divided into two parts. Part 1 recounts some of the early history that Morris Moscovitch and Gus Craik shared at Erindale, the influence that Gus had on Morris, and Morris’s development of the component process model, which provides a neuropsychological account of memory and aging that is compatible with many aspects of Craik’s cognitive theories on aging. Part 2 is concerned with more recent empirical and theoretical developments on divided attention, memory, and aging that had their origin in those theories and model. Part 1 is told from Morris’s perspective in the first person, whereas Part 2 is related by all of us.
