Building fulfilling lives through perpetual learning

In addition to highlighting that science is showing how brain plasticity allows adults to learn throughout life and how environmental factors influence learning, Norden (2007) says that current brain research shows that “our ability to feel, to reason, to abstract, or even to be moral are the result of underlying neural mechanisms” (pp. 3-141) Understanding how these mechanisms work can provide adult learners and educators with strategies and tools for building fulfilling lives and relationships through perpetual learning.
