Do intelligence and creativity decline of age?
Solution
Intelligence & creativity decline as age
In our mid 20s creativity increases climaxes around our late 30s or early 40s & thenundergoes aslow decline as we age
A persons single work tend to appear roughly the same age as their output peaks
But their expected creativity at 80 will still be about half of what is of that high point
This is explin by 3 principles
1] The precise relation between age & creativity depends on domain
2] creative people vary greatly in total lifetime productivity
3] The career age has more bearing on someones creative trajectory than chronological age
Creative declines are caused simply by aging brain
