Older Brain Really May Be a Wiser Brain

Some brains do dete­ri­o­rate with age. But for most aging adults, much of what occurs is a grad­u­ally widen­ing focus of atten­tion and sift­ing through a clut­ter of infor­ma­tion that makes it more dif­fi­cult to latch onto just one fact like a name or a phone num­ber. This is a good thing.; it may increase the amount of infor­ma­tion avail­able to the con­scious mind.
