intellectual decline
Définition
- Many adults believe that their thinking and memory skills are getting poorer, or will become so, as they grow older. Older adults frequently report that their memory is “not as good as it used to be,” and some may avoid participating in adult education or workplace training because they believe that “you can't teach an old dog new tricks.” While scientific evidence shows that some intellectual skills may decline in old age, these declines are neither inevitable or universal and not as profound as popular beliefs suggest.
