You've made a very interesting and true observation, as I have noticed this too. There are many explanations.

As people age they have more information stored in their brains but find it more difficult to choose which bits to share with others and avoid unnecessary details. In other words, people in their 70's have more knowledge, but are less good at selecting the most relevant elements of it.

If the elderly person is repeating the same idea over and over, then it's a sign of dementia. Otherwise, it's normal.

Except for dementia, it seems that they find difficulty on learning a new stuffs.  As people getting older, they feel more emotion, and emotion distract their attentions, so they cannot focus on solving any problem.
Does aging cause emotion more sensitivity? is there any related reference on this issue?

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

I believe for men it is hormonal-based. For example, as men age, they produce less testosterone, and with less testosterone, they're more emotional and effeminate.
