Landläufig herrscht die Meinung: ab dem 30. Lebensjahr baut man mental ab. Eine DIW-Studie hat allerdings ergeben, dass die kognitiven Fähigkeiten viel länger erhalten bleiben, nämlich mindestens bis 40. Das ist auch für das Wirtschaftswachstum von Bedeutung. Mehr dazu: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

Cognitive skill decline with age is not as strong as previous studies suggest. Skills decline in old age only for those with below-average skill usage - use it or lose it. Eric Hanushek, @kinnelavinia.bsky.social, Frauke Witthoeft, @woessmann.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
New on @voxeu.org: "Use it or lose it: How cognitive skills change with age" w/ Eric Hanushek, @kinnelavinia.bsky.social + Frauke Witthöft 🔗 cepr.org/voxeu/column... 👉Skills decline at older ages only for those with below-average skill usage
Use it or lose it: How cognitive skills change with age
Cognitive skills are commonly assumed to begin deteriorating from the age of 30, which could pose a significant challenge for rapidly ageing populations. But this assumption relies largely on cross-sectional data that cannot distinguish between ageing patterns and cohort differences. Using German longitudinal data, this column finds that skills, on average, increase markedly into one’s 40s before decreasing slightly in literacy and more severely in numeracy. In addition, skills decline at older ages only for those with below-average skill usage, outlining a clear policy pathway for avoiding skill declines.
