Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Longitudinal research has shown that perceptual speed decreases steadily starting from the twenties. This decline is due to the aging of the brain and the gradual loss of neurons and synaptic connections. Verbal ability, inductive reasoning, and numeric ability may also decline with age, but the decline is not as consistent or as linear as the decline in perceptual speed.
