Paper Summary

Social and nonsocial thinking changes as we age. Different cultures may affect how these changes happen. Some differences in thinking with age may be the same across all cultures, while others may be influenced by culture. This makes studying these changes more complicated. Future research on aging and social thinking should consider cultural differences.
