Good info! Thanks for reading these articles so we don't have to! I love the brain ages better when we hold a sense of possibility! Chapman says “our brain is not defined by age, it is defined by possibility.” Holding an opening in our mindset for the possible is so freeing and makes me feel unlimited. Brother David Steindl-Ross says "Hope is passion for the possible." Having hope is being open to the occurrence of what is possible. Not certainty, that is confining, but the possible can include many things, things we don't even know about, but what arises with an open mind!
Thank you. Not only are these research roundup review informative, I appreciate your own response to each. You bring a sensibility I that I appreciate and with which I share signficant resonance. John Thompson
> that intelligence isn’t one thing, and squashing it into a single score buries the strengths that actually allow a person to achieve their most personal goals.
I'm an integrative design-oriented cognitive scientist. I've recently compared 4 different models of intelligence:
1. the binary conception (has it or does not)
2. a single scalar (what you refer to)
3. multidimensional
4. architectural ( information processing architecture)
They all have their place, but the latter is the most comprehensive.
On this view, it's not just your behavioral strengths that matter, but your information processing architecture: mechanisms you've grown. E.g., you may have grown new alarm-generators and motive-generators; improved attentional filters; new management and meta-magement procedures; etc.
Thank you for presenting the details of new studies. Soo much information I need to spend time to digest all of these!
The 55-60 peak since I’m 54! Here I come. : )

This calls for an integrative design-oriented perspective going beyond cognitive processes, to manifold affective and motivational ones per [A Manifesto for an Integrative Design-oriented Approach to Understanding Humans as Autonomous Agents – CogZest](https://cogzest.com/projects/a-manifesto-for-integrative-design-oriented-cognitive-science-and-ai/)
