Adulthood, is a time in one's life when physical and intellectual maturity is attained. Adulthood is usually thought to begin during 20 to 21 years of age.
The learning capacity of young adults is so superior to that of older adults, so is their ability to organize information in terms of processing. On the other hand, older adults are equal or superior to young adults in their retaining general information.
Due to the fact that we spend so many years in adulthood, cognitive changes are numerous. Cognitive ability and intelligence are often measured using standardized tests, and there are two cartegories of intelligence that has shown different rates of change not only in adulthood but in life generally.
Crystallized intelligence:
Abilities that draw upon experience and knowledge. Measures of crystallized intelligence include vocabulary tests, understanding texts and solving number problems.
Fluid intelligence:
Refers to information processing abilities, such as logical reasoning, remembering lists, reaction time and spatial ability.
