What happens to the cognitive performance of men and women over time?
ANSWER:
Even though women tend to live longer on average than do men, there are some interesting differences when one looks at the research literature regarding cognitive functioning over time. Case in point, between the ages of 65 and 89, women tend to do better on tests of cognitive functioning. However, after age 90, men do much better than women on cognitive tests.
