| Abstract: | K. Warner Schaie is cited for enlarging our conception of developmental psychology to include the entire life span and for outstanding empirical contributions to the study of adult development and aging. As a developmental methodologist, Schaie's creative formulation of cohort-sequential longitudinal designs has inspired a new approach to the study of the dynamics between ontogenetic development and cultural (cohort) change. As a theoretician and researcher, he has made a landmark contribution to our understanding of the conditions that determine and surround the variations in the nature of aging. Along with the citation, a biography is presented for Schaie, as well as a bibliography of his work. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
