The aim of this book is to provide a framework for, and a critique of, those areas of scientific enquiry which constitute the psychology of human ageing. This requires the relevant concepts, methods, findings and applications of psychology to be reviewed in the context of the multidisciplinary study of ageing known as gerontology. The term "behavioural gerontology" has been adopted in order to emphasize that adult development and ageing constitutes a relatively new but now substantial branch of mainstream psychology, comparable to that other branch of the discipline-child development. Another reason for adopting the term "behavioural gerontology" is that it expresses the emphasis given to scientific method in psychology, in particular the emphasis on behavioural data when dealing with convert psychological processes such as cognition, motivation and emotion. The third reason for adopting the term is to label certain central topics in the psychology of ageing and to help define the boundaries between this area of psychology and related disciplines, such as those related to the biology of ageing at one extreme and those related to social gerontology at the other.
