The Aging Mind: Why Learning Makes You Older

Abstract

The aging mind is usually described as a story of biological degradation. Telomeres unravel, antagonistic pleiotropies cause neural aging, and cognitive representations crystalize and become inflexible. More generally, numerous observations suggest that as measures of fluid intelligence decline across the lifespan, measures of crystalized intelligence (e.g., vocabulary) increase. Could increasing crystallized intelligence cause a reduction in fluid abilities? Using several data sets of empirical observations on the aging mental lexicon we've collected over the past decade, I will demonstrate how thinking about these problems from a slightly different perspective provides a simple and elegant solution to aging phenotypes as a consequence of lifelong learning. I will provide a model using network analysis to demonstrate this effect.
