2015年3月6日 · The researchers gathered data from nearly 50,000 subjects and found a very clear picture showing that each cognitive skill they were testing peaked at a different age. For example, raw speed in processing information appears to peak around age 18 or 19, then immediately starts to decline.

We investigated such learning across the life span, between 4–85 years of age with an implicit probabilistic sequence learning task, and we found that the difference in implicitly learning high vs. low probability events - measured by raw reaction time (RT) - exhibited a …

The current study aimed to determine whether age differences exist on a configural response learning task, which includes aspects of motor learning and associative binding. Young (M = 24 years) and older adults (M = 66.5 years) completed a …

2024年12月16日 · Our initial hypothesis was that performance in associative learning would increase linearly with age. However, our findings suggest that performance peaks during the primary school years:...

2024年3月27日 · In this article, we’ll cover the main cognitive functions and how they vary based on age. Generalizations from specific observations. More accurate in younger adults. Declines begin mid-20s, accelerate in 50s. Chess players’ performance decline example. Declines with age. Difficulty increases with complex spatial tasks, like 3D objects.

In order to examine age differences in learning-related neurophysiological changes, the current study’s analyses included two factors: age (younger vs.older adults) and block (the task’s eight learning blocks). Both the main effects and the interaction between the factors were tested.

In a recent study, scientists took a closer look at the rate of informal learning, or what we might call learning speed, in 4- to 12-year-olds. The learning ability seen across individuals is positively correlated to the years of formal education.

2022年9月6日 · Changes in memory, attention, and processing speed can make learning more challenging for older adults. However, not all cognitive functions decline. Crystallized intelligence —the ability to use knowledge and experience—often remains strong, allowing older adults to apply wisdom to new learning.

2005年1月1日 · Rates of improvement within age groups were parallel for computations and retrievals, suggesting a single, age-attenuated mechanism that affects practice-related speedup. The age-related...

2025年2月27日 · To examine age differences in adaptive learning across the lifespan, we analyzed behavioral data of 33 children (8–10 years, median age 9 years), 29 adolescents (13–17 years, median age 15 years), 32 younger adults (20–28 years, median age 24 years), and 35 older adults (62–80 years, median age 71 years).
