Most older adults who maintain sufficient intellectual powers gain a greater appreciation of aesthetics and become creative.

Late adulthood is a stage of life beginning at about 65 years. During this time, spatial perception and processing speed declines. However, for some elderly who have strong intellect, learning comes creatively in the form of reflection. Greater appreciation for beauty is acquired along with enjoyment of life. This in turn boosts intellectual power and reverses memory decline. The cycle leads to a higher quality of life.
