Carlson Curve

The Carlson curve is a shape that is made up of two curves. It looks like a W. The Carlson curve helps to describe how different things can change with time. For example, the curve can show how a person's skills or knowledge could change as they get older. It shows that as you get older, you get better at some things but worse at others. For example, as you get older, you might get better at math but worse at running.
