According to the researchers, there is no limit to peaking for brain function.(Artwork: viralhealthnews.com)

When studying about 50,000 cases through online tests, experts found that people over the age of 40-50 understood the signals from others better, the elderly had a more general knowledge. Meanwhile, young people think faster and have short-term memory.

" There is no peak age limit for brain function. It depends entirely on the particular problem you consider. While some cognitive aspects tend to weaken, others are. continued to improve , "the US News quoted Laura Germine, of the Center for Human Genetics at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

In general, thinking skills peak at many different stages of life. On average, people think most quickly when they are 18-19 years old, while short-term memory peaks at age 25 and the ability to read the emotional state of others is best at 40-50 years old. Crystalized intelligence , "a cumulative knowledge calculation only peaks when humans are about 70 years old.

This study does not work for individuals throughout life and does not take into account those who are not Internet savvy. It contradicts some previous studies, but this may be due to social change. According to Germine, that again shows the complexity of the brain and our cognitive ability, as well as the ability to suffer from many factors such as age or life experience.
