Do you think, age is factor intelligence or not?

I think , age is not factor of intellect. Average child intelligence is equal average adult intelligence.
Intelligence is processus reflexion and raisonnement. Yes, adult know more, but adult think no more rapidity.
The adult wins because he already knows the answer.
However, if a child and an adult are put in a labyrinth and asked the question Why is the Sun in the Universe, then the child and the adult will have to analyze the world themselves, without having ready-made knowledge.
Children can trick adults.
Children may mature before their age, such as during times of war.
And before death, the child writes wise words that are available only to older people.
Child is inferior in adult because people create age limit.
Child don t interessed in work.
Potentially child is not inferior adult.

Also, but is other question , I believe, ordinal people can become genius.

The human brain is not finished development until 25. There is more to “intelligence”, like the ability to process information on a deeper level. That involves the prefrontal cortex, which again, isn’t finished development until 25. So no, not really. If you’re as intelligent as a child, then you’re disabled.

@MorbidCynic I think child and adult are equal in intelligence . Child can have logic or creativity superior than child.
And child genius is superior than intelligent adult. " handicap" is adult.
For me intelligence is conscience ability, spirit.
Spirit is immateriel... so , age is only for body , and intelligence is in spirit.

I agree with you for 25 years old intelligence is not stopped. Yes.
