Abstract: THE PURPOSE of this paper is to describe a few limitations that may occur with age and to draw some preliminary inferences about the underlying mechanisms.The scientific lit- erature on the psychological aspects of aging is increasing.The contributions from the Cam- bridge Laboratory in England (1-4) and the publications of numerous investigators in this country have given us many facts to digest.Recently, reviews have appeared on special as- pects of aging, such as psychomotor changes, changes in mental abilities, and changes in per- sonality (5-7).
