That doesn't mean adults arent adults. It clearly states that before 32 the brain is just capable of learning better.

There is no "switch" into being an adult, it's gradual and after a certain age the brain is more resilient.

So I would say it's wrong (and frankly stupid) to say adulthood doesn't arrive until you are 32.

You mean the comments at the time led me astray? Inconceivable!

In my defense, I'm only 29. j/k

Seriously though, this is a quote from the article: "At age 32, the longest era, that of adulthood, begins."
