R2 = 0.11
Edit: tried with R<sup>2</sup> but it didn’t work. :(
Edit 02: thanks to @jaennaet for educating me on proper syntax.
I am 29, and so far I didn’t really see any mental decline, sometimes even the reverse - I become better at learning certain stuff. Although I am also more aware that I will never be on the level some very talented people are, but it’s fine.
Played a reflex-based video game against a teenager lately?
Played a fiddle vs the Devil?
I don’t really play competitive video games, because I have always seen them as waste of time, and I easily get angry,but recently I nearly did get all retroachievements for NES Terris (just one remaining), so I guess my reflexes are not horrible yet.
Im in my thirties and still average reflex speeds around 150-175ms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A lot of things are easier to learn when you have a base foundation.
Also, a lot of skills have interrelated mental pathways, so once you have enough exp with one, learning the other means, you are actually plasticising your brain, less than what you would have, had you learnt the other skill without knowing the first.
I feel like the first time you notice that you have lost some mental capacity is a middle age right of passage.
guess the correlation, looks about like a solid 0.1. Whoever put that regression line in there is crazy, the confidence interval is insulting.
As a subject I cam confirm. No
