Perceptual Speed and Metacognition
Captions available
The idea
Perceptual speed, rapid recognition of objects and symbols, peaks in late adolescence and then declines; it predicts job and school performance.
In practice
Teens learning to reject misleading advice while accepting good advice, a sign of maturing metacognition.
Where people slip
Metacognition, planning, monitoring and judging one's own learning, develops through adolescence and plateaus in adulthood.
