Furthermore, the average men-. tal age is not synonymous with the all-around ability which continues to improve until quite a late age, Dr. Segel says. Playing Mental Tricks The ability to learn has been set up as an important criterion of a i man’s mind, But several factors enter into it, such as experience, reasoning and the in- observation, stinct to survive. tion of those factors can tricks on the mind. The average adult, as he grov older, may find his interests sharp- play er in the work he has chosen, but: ess sharp in purely extraneous fields. If he is an accountant, he may find it quite simple to learn a new accounting system, But he might’ imble over a foreign language ! or medieval history, which had no direct relation to his work.

The general belief that the average man is only 12 years old mentally arose through the Stan- s which were giv- en to the army during the war. But measurement experts now believe those tests were geuged too high because the orig) ages’ were drawn from tests made | on a group of too high caliber.

The ability to learn also varies E. 1 | according to the subject studied.
