Definition

  • As the potential pool of elder witnesses continues to expand with the aging U.S. population, the age group referred to in the literature as older adults or seniors has become of greater interest to researchers. The group typically comprises healthy, active members of the community falling into the 60- to 80-year age band. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Elderly Eyewitnesses]
