Hypothesis A
In order to retain their ability to perform complex calculations and make correct and logical conclusions based on specific premises throughout their life, older people should train their skills on a regular basis; otherwise, their skills will deteriorate very fast. Since lack of training and education leads to faster decline of cognitive and analytical skills, it is crucial that older people should practice essential developmental skills regularly.
As long as older people keep revising the information that they already know and put their skills to the proper use, it will be possible to remain mentally active. In addition, the activities that help raising awareness may be used as the key exercise that will help older people acquire information fast and process it in a proper way.
Hypothesis B
Unless efficient training is provided to people so that they could be encouraged for lifelong learning, they are most likely to lose their skills after they reach a certain age. Since in most cases, people are prone to lose the skills that they have not practiced for long, it is reasonable to suggest that, with age related disorders, most people are going to lose the ability to think logically and process information fast.
However, with the introduction of lifelong learning principles into one’s life, it will be possible to make one retain the skills of logical thinking and fast and efficient data processing.
