Humans are thought to reach their physical peak in the mid -20s Optimal happiness In his early 20s or RetirementPrevious research suggested that logic, Memory periodAnd decline after the decline in processing speed Adulthood,
But according to a new study, middle age is actually the peak of brain functioning.
New research, published in journal intelligenceIt was found that the cognitive ability of humans is in its best form between 55 and 60 years of age, with achievements such as the success of career for the climax later in life.
The head of the study, Dr. of Western University, Dr. Gills Gignac Australiatold Many times: “The mixture of accumulated knowledge, decision and life experience is one that transforms the overall peak of human functioning in the late fifty.
“Therefore, while the youth have advantages, maturity brings a broad and more powerful tool to navigate complex problems and responsibilities. While some people may seem clear, it was never scientifically determined and installed.”
The study states that fluid intelligence, often considered the most important cognitive ability, reaches the peak at the age of about 20, and other dimensions such as crystallized intelligence and emotional intelligence continued.
Researchers analyzed age -related trends in nine markers associated with the success of life, which required cognitive ability, personality symptoms, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, moral logic, resistance to sinking cost prejudice, cognitive flexibility, cognitive flexibility, cognitive flexibility, cognitive flexibility, and feeling.
He made two models to test it and found that in both, the overall work reached the peak during late midlife.
Crystallized intelligence, which is responsible for the acquired knowledge, decision making and implementation of problems, continues to improve according to your age. Other symptoms, including emotional intelligence, moral logic, and resistance to sinking cost fall – the ability to quit something that is not proving beneficial – later at the peak.
The study said, “These compensatory developments can help offset the decline in fluid cognitive abilities, making effective decisions and achievements well in adulthood later.”
Researchers stated that the findings suggest that “may be at the peak in late midlife, defined in the context of functional ability, major differences psychological symptoms, can be closely aligned with specific peaks in career achievement”.
He said: “In addition, the most suitable person for high-day decision-making roles is unlikely to be less than 40 or over 65.”
A recent study of over ten million Americans and 40,000 British homes found “Nakhshi hump” Scientists had seen for decades – in which the midlife may disappear in the midlife, and then fall.
The study found that instead, the average 22-year-old was likely to be unhappy with their parents. Dartmouth College Professor David Blancflower said that this shift was not due to medium-aeru, but because General Z was more prone to disappointment and anxiety.
