Your brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This allows the neurons to compensate for injury and adjust their activities in response to new situations.

• Brain can change at any age
• Learning new skills strengthens neural pathways
• Regular mental exercise maintains plasticity

The cognitive system that holds information temporarily for processing. It's crucial for reasoning, decision-making, and behavior guidance.

• Holds about 7 items for 20-30 seconds
• Can be improved with practice
• Essential for complex cognitive tasks

How your brain makes sense of what you see. This includes recognizing shapes, colors, and motion, and understanding spatial relationships.

• Processes information faster than text
• Essential for navigation and object recognition
• Can be trained with pattern recognition games

The ability to perform simple repetitive cognitive tasks quickly and fluently. It's important for processing information efficiently.

• Declines gradually with age
