Cognitive Deceleration Cost

Meaning

Cognitive Deceleration Cost represents the measurable functional decline and diminished productivity resulting from the progressive slowing of cognitive processing speed and executive function, often associated with biological aging or chronic metabolic stress. This cost is clinically significant, manifesting as reduced mental agility, longer reaction times, and decreased capacity for complex problem-solving, which collectively impair an individual’s quality of life and professional capability. It quantifies the functional impact of compromised neurophysiological efficiency over time.
