How seniors learn

Beth Stevens. Issue Brief Cent Medicare Educ. 2003.

Abstract

The learning capacity of older adults has direct, practical implications for professionals trying to educate older people and their families about health-care services and benefits, especially Medicare. In this brief, we discuss the issue of how older people learn, exploring research from the field of cognitive aging. We also offer some tips for how you can adapt your educational programs and materials to build on your clients' cognitive strengths and compensate for some of the losses that can occur with aging.
