crystallized intelligence in the elderly


   
   many people assume that the older person's brain will be even less able, both in capturing, analyzing, remembering, and responding to information. Old age for many people is often equated with a period of time in the less productive due to decline in the ability of the brain. This assumption is of course only evolve from oral news that continues to spread from one person to another without any scientific evidence that strengthen and support it. This means that the assumption that people who get older then brain could decrease the expression of which is less precise. There was no relationship between age and brain. If we still maintain a good food for the brain, our brain will remain good until old age.

     
there are some scientists who say that the millions of neurons die each day due to increasing a person's age, it's just that we need to know that a brain capacity and intelligence is not determined by the number of neurons in the brain, but rather on the strength of the connection to send the flow of information between networks brain. So even if someone is old age, but if he is still caring for the cable  connection between the brain that leads to better information, the capacity and intelligence would not decrease. Keep in mind that, treating the cable connection has nothing to do with age, but this is a process of mental exercise. 

In more details, if given enough time, healthy older brains are better than young, healthy brain, because of stronger linkages between neurons. This is due to the specialized knowledge for many - years referred to as crystallized intelligence. so then he got older person will be more robust network of neurons derived from life experiences that require large memory bank, verbal ability, as well as a more sophisticated assessment. While there is intelligence in the young brain liquid. This intelligence makes young people to learn quickly, but the quality of learning is lower than the parents.

      
The big difference in brain development between young and old age is uncertain. However, the assessment of that person becoming an increasingly older brain does not develop is one myth that truth is hard to prove scientifically. The old brain, but people stay healthy and fit without the disease, the brain would still function very well until she was old enough. Instead though he's still young, but if you have disease problems, it will decrease brain function.

      
The issue of reduction in the ability of the brain does not lie in age, but rather on the presence or absence of diseases that can damage tissue cells - nerve cells in the brain. Many people who are old age, but they still have the capacity and good intelligence. And not a few people who are young but have the disease, so they suffered a serious brain disorder. It must be old, but the question the ability of the brain that is an option. If we treat the brain with the good and to "food" that is enough for the brain, our brain will surely remain fascinating to old age.
