Document Summary
Fluid: depends on basic information process skills: I. e. , iq tests: peaks around time when you are 20 years old. Mastery of social conventions: valued by person"s culture. I. e. , if you have good crystallized intelligence in western culture and you move somewhere else, you may not transfer all of that. Increases in middle adulthood measured by vocabulary, verbal, and reasoning: peaks at around 45. Age-related slowing of information processing: neural network view. Neurons in brain die, breaking neural connections. Information lost as it moves in steps through cognitive system. Whole system slows down to inspect and interpret information. Individual and group factors in intelligence scores: lifestyle. Attention in middle adulthood: more difficulties in. Inhibition: could be linked to slower processing, experience, practice & training help older adults compensate. Memory in middle adulthood: working memory decreases from 20s to 60s. Ineffective memory strategies (organization, elaboration and linking) due to slower processing, attention problems: adults can compensate by:
