Some brain functions may improve with age
At a Glance
- Computer tests of attention and the ability to focus revealed that older adults declined in only one out of three key brain functions.
- Two of the three functions actually improved during aging, at least until the mid-to-late 70s.
- The findings suggest that practice can help preserve some aspects of cognition well into late old age.
