And so they looked at a bunch of old people. They used cognitive tests to see how they were doing over time. They hypothesized that a major factor in those who actually improve cognitively in their older years, and there are people who will actually get better, our cognitive abilities will improve even after age, say, 65. They hypothesized that there's gotta be a factor there that could predict who's gonna do better and who won't. What they settled down on in their data was [upbeat music] Hello, my friends.
Hank Smith· Host0:39
Welcome to another episode of Follow Him. My name is Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with a giant among men. [laughs] My co-host, John, by the way. Now, John, physically, you're not a giant, but spiritually, you're a giant among men.
John Bytheway· Co-host0:56
