Answer to Question 1

structural; functional

Answer to Question 2

Even though there are normative declines in some areas of cognitive abilities in some people over time, such as a decrease in processing speed, there are still a number of things one can do to maintain or increase one's cognitive functioning over time. Eating a healthy diet, exercising, and maintaining one's intellectual activities and interests all are important in maintaining cognitive functioning and health. Having interesting work or hobbies, engaging in conversations with others, learning how to use mnemonic devices, and even doing puzzles and brain teasers all provide mental energy and promote mental flexibility.
