title: Aging and spatial cognition.
abstract: The study of age-related changes in spatial behaviors has much in common with the study of age-related changes in classical conditioning. A comparison is made of research in these two areas, with the suggestion that future work in spatial behaviors pursue the same lines of investigation that have been effective in classical conditioning.
