When I was younger, I used to pick skills up fast, but now I struggle to learn anything new. Why is that?
Also, how can I improve my learning skills?
In: Biology
There are some good answers here, maybe, but I’m not sure I’m convinced that this is just 100% true biological fact that your ability to learn decreases with age necessarily. I mean some people certainly spend less of their time learning new things given they don’t spend 6+h in school a day anymore, especially if they get out of school and their job doesn’t require constant learning of new things and you’ll naturally be worse at learning if you do something 2h a week instead of 6h a day
Hell I feel like if I had to do school again I’d get straight As with little effort as I am way better at least applying myself than I ever was at 18 and probably just as good at ‘learning’
Maybe learning languages I’d be worse at due to neuroplasticity but not sure neuroplasticity is just straight up correlated to better learning for everything, being old means all your learning is based on all the previous knowledge, you don’t keep learning basic math concepts you move to more and more advanced things
