This interdisciplinary handbook is the first to provide an overview of research and theory about formal and informal adult learning. Jan Sinnott and a team of experts from different fields analyze and synthesize the state of the art today--how mature and aging adults learn and what their motivations are. This major reference examines important theories and models, learning in specific life contexts, the influence of aging on learning, and the future of adult lifespan learning. Extensive reference materials have been developed for students, teachers, policymakers, and practitioners to use in the fields of gerontology, psychology, education, and counseling.
JAN D. SINNOTT, Professor of Psychology at Towson State University in Baltimore, has written at length about the psychology of adult development and learning. Her previous books include Everyday Memory and Aging: Current Research and Methodology (1991), Bridging Paradigms: Positive Development in Adulthood and Cognitive Aging, and Adult Development: Models and Methods in the Study of Adolescent and Adult Thought (Praeger, 1991 and 1990).
