“Compared with the participants who reported working 40 or fewer hours a week, those who worked more than 55 hours a week had lower scores on the vocabulary tests at the start and the follow-up assessments. They also showed a larger decline in fluid intelligence from the first set of tests to the second. These connections persisted even after the investigators accounted for education, occupation, disease, stress, sleep, and other factors that might influence cognitive decline. The results were published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.” Don’t Overwork Your Brain - Health and Well-Being - Harvard Business Review

“The tests evaluated verbal memory and skills, fluid intelligence (associated with short-term memory, abstract thinking, creativity, and problem solving), and crystallized intelligence (learning accumulated over the life span in education, work, and cultural experiences). Fluid intelligence is often affected by aging, disease, or injury, while crystallized intelligence tends to increase through the 60s and 70s, and may not begin to decline until the 80s.” Don’t Overwork Your Brain - Health and Well-Being - Harvard Business Review
