At what age are we the smartest?

About this episode

When you reach a certain age, it often feels as though everything is in decline: your body, your memory, your energy.  But what if getting older didn’t have to be a purely downward slope? Research has shown that that idea may in fact be a misconception. That’s right: your intellectual peak may end up coming much later than you expect. Surly our most significant intellectual performances happen when we’re young, don’t they? What other markers did they take into consideration then? Why do older people tend to face discrimination in the world of work then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
