Chronological age (as it pertains to humans) is the actual age of a person from the moment of birth to any point in time as long as that person is alive. It is the actual time span. Thus a person could be 5 years old, 11 years 10 months 2 days old...etc.
The mental development of a person is reflected in the mental age of a person. The mental age can be quite different from the chronological age. There are accepted mental development standards for an average person based on his/her chronological age. But these standards vary based on many factors, some of which are
1) Environment in which the person grows.
2) Things and situations that the person is exposed to
3) Home and societal environment
4) Stability of a society
5) Absence of war and destruction
6) Disease including mental
7) Lack of nutrition
8) Stability of the family
9) Inborn gift or lack of it
and many more
Thus we may encounter an eight year old doing and understanding college level math and science (a gift) or a 50 year old who can hardly count one through 10. Thus even though there is a linear relationship between chronological age and mental age for the average population, it can vary from person to person due to one or more of the above reasons and others.

Who developed the world's first standardized intelligence test?
Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon created the first standardized intelligence test in 1916. Francis Galton made the first attempt to create such a test before them, but was unsuccessful in creating a test because he could find no correlation between physical development and mental development. Binet and Simon created a test that would require participants to give answers that would relate to their "mental age", meaning that the more advanced the question, the more likely an older participant would be able to answer correctly. This mental age reflected the mental ability of a child. If a child had a higher mental age than his/her chronological age, (for example, an 11 year old scores a mental age of 13) then the child was considered gifted or mentally advanced. If a child had a lower mental score than his/her chronological age, (for example, an 11 year old scores a mental age of 10) then the child was seen as underdeveloped or mentally retarded.
