Detailed explanation-1: -We develop many thinking abilities that appear to peak around age 30 and, on average, very subtly decline with age. These age-related declines most commonly include overall slowness in thinking and difficulties sustaining attention, multitasking, holding information in mind and word-finding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Research has shown that concept formation, abstraction, and mental flexibility decline with age, especially after age 70 4, as older adults tend to think more concretely than younger adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, concept formation, abstraction, and mental flexibility decline with age, especially in subjects older than age 70. Speech and language function remains largely intact with advancing age. Vocabulary, verbal reasoning, and speech comprehension in normal conversation all remain stable into advanced age.
