Stop making excuses! The brain is sluggish after the age of 60
winterization
It is a frustrating and unavoidable fact of life that it is widely believed that the brain becomes more and more sluggish as we age.
However, a recent statistic based on more than 1 million people shows that the speed of human thinking processing problems remains almost unchanged until the age of 60, but becomes more cautious with age, which may be the reason for the decline in the speed of human thinking processing problems. .
This would explain the conclusion from numerous studies that mental processing speed peaks around age 20 and begins to decline steadily thereafter.
The study, published recently in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, is based on statistics from 1,185,882 participants, aged between 10 and 80.
Study author Dr Misha von Krauss of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, said: "Statistics show that people don't think until after the age of 60, precisely when people need to make quick and forced decisions. , average thinking speed does not decline significantly until relatively late (after age 60)."
