Cognitive Stability in Early and Middle Adulthood
In contrast to physical abilities, which peak in the mid-20s, cognitive functions generally remain stable throughout early and middle adulthood. Specifically, crystallized intelligence tends to hold steady or even improve. This stability is reflected in intelligence test scores, which show little to no decline for adults until they reach their mid-30s to mid-50s.

A 55-year-old history professor and a 25-year-old graduate student are both participating in a university event. The event consists of two main challenges: a trivia contest covering a wide range of historical facts and a 100-meter sprint. Based on general developmental trends in adulthood, which of the following outcomes is most probable?
