Abstract

The article offers information on the age at which cognitive functioning of brain is at its peak. Topics discussed include studies showing that there may not be an age at which humans perform at peak on most cognitive tasks; views of Phillip Ackerman of Georgia Institute of Technology on the judging of adult intelligence by the same standard of judging childhood intelligence; and benefits of maintaining a purpose in life for health and well-being.
