As people age, their reaction time tends to slow down, making it more difficult to quickly respond to stimuli, such as a traffic light turning red. Vocabulary and crossword skills tend to be well-maintained throughout adulthood, and while maze performance may decline slightly, it typically does not experience as significant of a decline as reaction time.
