When people are getting old, they will inevitably suffer from cognitive decline such as poor memory as well as decline in learning ability. Does IQ really have anything to do with age? At what age do people reach the peak of intelligence? The Scientific American Website published an article on the results of a research at the Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The study was conducted by using online cognitive games that everyone could participate in. The results show that there is no exact age in which most people's brain functions reach their peak. For example, our ability to process information quickly reaches its peak between the ages of 18 and 19; the peak of short-term memory occurs around 25 years old, and can last for 10 years, and then decreases slowly; our ability to examine a man's language and observe his countenance will reach the highest level between 40 to 50 years old;and our comprehensive knowledge level reaches at its peak in 50 years old . After that, our levels decline slightly before the age of 60, and eventually decline again around the age of 75.

In addition, the peak age of intelligence activities will change, for example, the more accomplishment the Nobel prize winner obtains, the older the age is., and this situation is the same in every field. The article said that? the most creative age of physicist is at an average age of 48, that is to say, even if you can't remember where the key is, it won’t hold you up creating brilliance when inspiration strikes.

人上了年紀(jì)，難免會出現(xiàn)記性不好淫半、學(xué)習(xí)能力下降等認(rèn)知衰退的情況溃槐。人的智商和年齡大小真的有關(guān)系嗎？人到底在幾歲會到達(dá)智力的巔峰呢撮慨？《科學(xué)美國人》網(wǎng)站發(fā)表了一篇文章竿痰，介紹了哈佛大學(xué)和麻省理工大學(xué)的研究成果。這項研究用了網(wǎng)上人人都可參與的認(rèn)知游戲來進(jìn)行測試砌溺。結(jié)果表明影涉，并不存在一個能夠讓多數(shù)人的大腦功能達(dá)到巔峰的確切年齡。比如规伐，我們快速處理信息的能力在18至19歲左右達(dá)到頂峰蟹倾；短期記憶的巔峰大約出現(xiàn)在25歲，并且能保持10年之久猖闪，然后才緩慢下降鲜棠；我們察言觀色的能力要到40至50歲才算是最高水平；而我們的綜合知識水平培慌，在50歲左右到達(dá)巔峰豁陆。之后，我們的各項水平在60歲前輕微下降吵护，并最終在75歲左右再次下降盒音。

此外表鳍，智力活動的巔峰年齡也會有所變化，比如祥诽，諾貝爾獎得主獲得最重要的成果時的年齡越來越大譬圣，這種情況在各個領(lǐng)域都一樣。文章說雄坪，物理學(xué)家最具創(chuàng)造力的年齡平均在48歲厘熟，也就是說，就算你記不住鑰匙放哪了维哈，也不耽誤你在靈感來臨的時候創(chuàng)造輝煌绳姨。
