Perspectives in experimental gerontology (author's transl)

Aktuelle Gerontologie
A Kment, G Hofecker

Abstract

Experimental gerontology is changing progressively from an idiographic (descriptive) science to a nomothetic (conceivable in terms of laws) one. Besides the punctual studies of the total complex of aging, those investigations will acquire increasing significance which take into account the bionomal character of life. In addition, the views of logic science, epistomology and system theory will be employed in experimental gerontology more often than is the case now. Experimental gerontology will finally lead to the development of a theoretical gerontology.
