While I am not acquainted with the actual studies, my logic tells me "older" people have problems with learning primarily stemming from the fact that they have a harder time detaching themselves form everyday problems like paying bills, and those preconceived ideas we build in ourselves concerning different disciplines (e.g. "omg! I will never be able to learn this!!!"). People occupy themselves with things that in the end matter very little...Stardusk wrote...
Yes and no. The mind deteriorates at a slower rate than the body but science confirms that younger people have a greater learning capacity than older people. Still the brain can be better maintained than the body.
Wife and me are 34. We had a studying hiatus of more than 5 years (after the more intensive part of) university and just recently we started all sorts of new studies, very different from our prior education. I can honestly say that I have less problems now than I used to have. The difference is that this time round IT IS MY OWN CHOICE to study and not an environmental expectation. We have no children and our current income exceeds our requirements, so there is nothing really to distract us except ourselves.
