Why

Many Seniors Get Swindled: Brain Anomalies and Poor Decision-making in Older
Adults
By Natalie L. Denburg, Ph.D., and Lyndsay Harshman, B.S.
Explanations for why seniors so easily fall prey to cons do not adequately
explain many instances of the phenomena. The problem may not be normal aging
or even dementia or Alzheimer's, argues Natalie Denberg, Ph.D., but an
abnormality in a part of the brain involved in emotional processing.

BOOK REVIEW

How
<http://email.dana.org/c.html?rtr=on&s=awru,hnsa,594,7rwo,8d1d,dlq4,m3a0> We
Decide
By Jonah Lehrer
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing, Inc., 2009
Reviewed by Scott A. Huettel, Ph.D.
Decision-making is a complex interaction between emotional and rational
processes in the brain. In his book How We Decide, Jonah Lehrer does a great
job of telling a story of how and why we make decisions the way we do, but
in his efforts to make the information accessible, he may oversimplify too
much, writes Dr. Scott A. Huettel.
