Biography
Patrick Lemaire is a Professor of Psychology at Aix-Marseille University. He is also a member of the prestigious Institut Universitaire de France and has over 130 publications in cognitive aging and related fields.
"Lemaire’s little primer on strategy use is an imperative read for anyone who works in aging science. If you teach cognitive aging or other gerontology courses, I suggest adding it to your students’ reading list, because it provides a succinct summary of the past 20 years of strategy literature."
