A neuroscientist named Allison Sekular reports that young people are quicker than older people at making detail discriminations ..but that older people are better at seeing the big picture ..and recognizing patterns. I can relate to that. I can usually tell when surfing conditions are improving by the direction of the wind ..the color of the ocean ..and the flight pattern of the birds. Younger people, on the other hand, sense surfing conditions from rapid pressure changes underneath their board ..right before they get demolished by the wave.
