Late adulthood, or old age, begins around 65 years and is characterized by gradual physical decline, retirement, and reflection on life achievements. It is also a period of continued learning, adaptation, and the search for meaning and life satisfaction.
2. Cognitive development in late adulthood
Cognitive abilities such as vocabulary and accumulated knowledge often remain stable or improve. Some decline may occur in processing speed, working memory, and the ability to learn new information. Conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease affect a portion of the elderly population, impacting memory and cognition. Lifelong learning and mental stimulation can help maintain cognitive functioning.
