AB - During the formative stages of behavioral gerontology, intellectual and/or cognitive functioning was at the core of research as shown in a variety of historical reviews. Although recent decades have seen behavioral gerontology attain a much wider horizon, aging research in intellectual abilities has managed to preserve its frontier character in a number of respects. The main aims of this chapter are to elucidate the type of issues that are apt to guide future research in the area defined by the topic and to highlight various implications for research in other behavioral domains. This endeavor will be facilitated by a number of recent reviews which provide an exhaustive coverage of the field. The present review conceptualizes intelligence as a construct that needs explication in terms of its empirical referents within a framework of antecedent-process-consequent relationships. Moreover, in line with the frequently stated major objectives of any comprehensive scientific endeavor in the behavioral sciences, the available evidence will be organized around three perspectives: (a) description, (b) explanation, and (c) modification.
