Harnessing neuroplasticity for clinical applications (2011, positive): “Changes associated with neurodegenerative diseases can be superimposed on declines and reduced plasticity associated with normal ageing (Gould et al., 2006; Mahncke et al., 2006; Hertzog et al., 2009).”
Successful aging at work: A process model to guide future research and practice (2020, background): “On the other hand, when the work environment does not require the use of knowledge, skills, and abilities of older workers, cognitive capacities (e.g., working memory) may decline, potentially resulting in a psychological inability to continue working (e.g., Hertzog et al., 2008).”
Aging, training, and the brain: A review and future directions (2009, neutral): “…of non-cognitive factors such as personality, stress, genetics, socioeconomic status, and alcohol consumption , we refer the reader to the recent review paper by Hertzog et al. (2009), the commentary by King and Suzman (2009), and a related large-scale empirical study by Yaffe et al. (2009).”
