Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As people age, they tend to accumulate more life experiences and knowledge, which can make them better conversationalists and help them discuss a wider range of topics with their guests. This is especially true if they make an effort to stay informed and engaged with the world around them. In contrast, abilities like multi-tasking and following complicated recipes may decline with age due to changes in cognitive function. Therefore, preparing a meal while simultaneously talking to guests and following complicated recipes are less likely to improve with age. Cooking dishes that must be ready at different times may improve with experience, but it is not as directly linked to aging as the ability to be a good conversationalist.
