The "State of the Art" on Mental Work Ability and the Increasing (Work) Life Span of People
bookPart
Roel Cremer is concerned with elderly workers, and assessing ability. He is interested in both decline and growth in ability over time. He introduced two key concepts: mental workability (capacities which are wilfully allocated); and cognitive ageing (changes in mental ability, including working memory). Changes over the lifespan comprise development in breadth, accumulation of experience, and development in depth. Including discussion. © Swedish National Institute for Working Life.
