Wondering why you're not quite as quick as you were in your younger days? Why is DauT not the same DauT anymore? This bit of research helps:
An enlightening article in science daily talks about research of 3000+ SC2 players, aged between 16-44, using their history of recorded games to analyse their cognitive motor performance. The focus of the study was on reaction time. They found that:

An enlightening article in science daily talks about research of 3000+ SC2 players, aged between 16-44, using their history of recorded games to analyse their cognitive motor performance. The focus of the study was on reaction time. They found that:
Read full article here:"After around 24 years of age, players show slowing in a measure of cognitive speed that is known to be important for performance," explains Thompson, the lead author of the study, which is his thesis. "This cognitive performance decline is present even at higher levels of skill."
But there's a silver lining in this earlier-than-expected slippery slope into old age. "Our research tells a new story about human development," says Thompson.
"Older players, though slower, seem to compensate by employing simpler strategies and using the game's interface more efficiently than younger players, enabling them to retain their skill, despite cognitive motor-speed loss."
