What age is peak in 2k?
I understand that the peak age range determines when a players growth, peak, and decline periods are. So someone with a peak range from 24-28 will experience the most growth before 24, plateau/slow growth between 24 and 28, then will decline after 28.

Does memory worsen as you age?
Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don't remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses.

What age is the peak of intelligence?
They conclude that humans reach their cognitive peak around the age of 35 and begin to decline after the age of 45. And our cognitive abilities today exceed those of our ancestors. “Performance reveals a hump-shaped pattern over the life cycle,” report the authors in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
