Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most likely reason for older adults in 20 years to perform better at formal and concrete-operational tasks than today's older adults is due to increased education. As younger generations receive more education and access to information, they will be better equipped to perform cognitive tasks as they age. Nutrition, genetic treatments, and longer life spans may have some influence, but they are unlikely to be the primary reason for improved cognitive abilities among older adults in 20 years.
