University of Texas researchers have found cause for Employers to keep over-sixty year olds on the payroll. Over sixty people are better at strategic decision-making regarding the future as compared with those of university age. The younger group is better at making decisions which are designed to produce immediate results.
This stands conventional wisdom on its head. Previously it had been considered that decison-making ability tails off as people get older. The University researchers were not convinced and believed that previous tests had not allowed for the decision-maker taking future choices into account.. They wanted to test for this aspect, given how this so often effects challenges day to day.
Dr Darrell Worthy has written an article on it in Psychological Science and maintains that the understanding of older people is better on how rewards are structured.
