虽然我赞同这个帖子的标题，但要是能有些证据，或者至少举几个体现经验价值的例子就好了。相关推荐：《成年大脑的秘密生活》（The Secret Life of the Grown Up Brain）是一本很有意思的书，探讨了中年人大脑（定义为 40、50、60 岁左右）的优势与劣势：http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Life-Grown-up-Brain/dp/0670...
Whilst I agree with the title of this post, it would be nice to have some evidence, or at least some examples of the sort of things that experience brings. Related: "The Secret Life of the Grown Up Brain" is an interesting book looking at what works and does not work in the middle-aged brain (defined as being 40s, 50s, 60s): http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Life-Grown-up-Brain/dp/0670...
这是 Barbara Strauch 的书《成年大脑的秘密生活》里的一些要点。神经科学家发现：* 追踪研究表明认知能力在中年达到峰值。* 上年纪的人更快乐。随着年龄增长，人会变得更平和、更乐观，而且……

……具有连贯性。（人们通常通过精心选择一套新习惯来实现这一点。）至于衰老，根据一本名为《成年大脑的秘密生活：中年心智的惊人才能》的极有趣的书，其影响远比我想象的更丰富多样。直到最近，衰老的大脑才真正被纳入研究，而（书中引用的）最新研究表明，在某些方面，大脑其实在……
…with consistency. (One way people do this is with a carefully-chosen new routine.) As far as aging goes, its impacts are more diverse than I thought, according to a really interesting book called "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind." Aging brains really haven't been studied until recently, and newer research (cited in the book) suggests that in some ways the brain improves at certain…
《纽约时报》一位科普作家写过一篇类似的文章，给我带来了很大启发（总结在《成年大脑的秘密生活》中）。http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030CVRU2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=... 其核心理论是：年轻的大脑吸收经验，而上了年纪的大脑整合经验。因此上了年纪的大脑能做出更大的飞跃……
I drew a lot of inspiration from a similar article by a science writer at the New York Times (summarized in "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain".) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030CVRU2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=... The basic theory is that young brains soak up experience, while older brains consolidate it. So older brains can make bigger leaps…
这篇文章基本上就是同一位作者写的《成年大脑的秘密生活：中年心智的惊人才能》（The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind）一书的简要梗概。
The article is essentially a brief synopsis of a book by the same author, <i>The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind</i>.
几年前，《纽约时报》的科普作家出版了一本名为《成年大脑的秘密生活：中年心智的惊人才能》的书。她总结了最新的医学研究，这些研究得出的结论是：大脑机能并不会随着年龄增长而真正下滑，反而会出现明显的爆发期……
A few years ago the New York Times' science writer published a book called "The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind. She summarized the latest medical research, which was concluding that brain performance didn't really taper off as we aged, and there were actual spikes…
