Research findings that indicate differences between older and younger adults with issues such as memory, attentional capacity, and processing speed must be interpreted carefully. Why?

Because these generalizations can generate misconceptions in the citizen of the community, making believe that older people are unable to perform certain jobs in our society and can promote their exclusion. It is important to particularize each medical case and understand that a healthy and exercised life at the mental level is what guarantees a good memory and processing capacity.
