Our Brains Don't Slow With Age As Much As We Think
Our brains don’t slow down until much older than previously thought. Plus, there’s a useful method to train your brain to stay focused no matter what is going on around you.
Over the past few decades, studies have shown the speed at which the human brain can make simple decisions peaks in our twenties, with a rapid decline in mental speed as we get older.
But a new study out of Heidelberg University in Germany shows that our brain speed doesn’t slow down until our 60s.
This new study included more than 1 million participants and as the author of the study Dr. Mischa Von Krause, of Heidelberg University wrote, “Our results show that average levels in mental speed in contexts demanding fast and forced decisions do not decline until relatively late in the lifespan.”
It is true that the average time to give a correct answer peaks at about 20 years old. But the authors of this new study say the brains of older people are still fast, it’s their life experience that makes them more cautious when responding to a question. Put another way, a 20-year-old will confidently sacrifice accuracy for speed. But as the participants grew older, they made fewer mistakes until they hit age 60.
“It looks as though, in the course of our life, we don’t need to fear any substantial losses of mental speed – particularly not in the course of a typical working life,” Von Krause added.
