Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will take a multidimensional approach to examining the underling mechanisms to conditions and events that impact the health of the aging population. We will accept scientific works focusing on conceptual issues around attentional processing in aging populations, literature reviews, measurement and assessment of physical and psychological functioning in aging, and motor skill deterioration and its impact on activity of daily living and wellbeing of the older population. This Special Issue welcomes research that has taken an interdisciplinary approach to explore the complex and dynamic relationship between gerontology and health. This call is open to research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles.
