Philosophy:Intellectual functioning
From HandWiki
Short description: Mental Function
Intellectual functioning refers to the "general mental ability that includes reasoning, planning, problem solving, abstract thinking, comprehending complex ideas, learning quickly and learning from experience". Significantly limited or impaired intellectual functioning characterizes intellectual disabilities.[1][2]
Ageing has been shown to cause a decline in intellectual functioning.[3]
