Ageist stereotyping is a tool of cognition which involves categorizing into groups and attributing characteristics to these groups. Stereotypes are necessary for processing huge volumes of information which would otherwise overload a person, and they are often based on a "grain of truth" (for example, the association between aging and ill health).

The greatest issue emerges where the idea of stereotyping attacks class action law. Class actions are being based upon the assertion that supervisors harbor, and definitely depend upon, racial and gender stereotypes in making employment decisions.
