studies show that there are some age-related decline in cognitive development. As a person grows older some brain cell dies, shrink, or weaken and cause some decline in brain functions. Some cognitive processes include attention, working memory, long-term memory, perception, and executive control. The material will explain the effect of aging on cognitive development by providing scholarly research proof. Cognitive Development Cognition is the process by which human beings learn about the world

we focus on two specific areas. One is the cortex of the frontal and cerebral lobes1. The second is the hippocampus (meaning seahorses in Greek which it resembles2) which is located below the cerebral cortex and responsible for short-term memory. If we study samples of these two section, we would find three irregularities which are not found in normal brain matter. These three are called neurofibrillary tangles, neuritic plagues and granulovacuolar degeneration3. A nerve cell

superscalar processors implements different stages like instruction fetch and prediction which uses a cache to reduce latency and instruction buffers are used to hold the fetched instructions. Also conditional branches are recognized and determine there outcome. In instruction decoding , renaming and dispatching storage elements are identified and renaming is done by using physical register file which can be greater than or equal to logical register file. In the next stage instructions are issued and parallel
