Adults like to be able to apply newly learned material immediately to their own lives and experiences. The adult learner has many experiences that can influence the teaching session, so it is important to take these experiences into account to make the teaching relevant and meaningful to them. Adult readiness to learn is also influenced by social roles, such as work or family responsibilities. However, it is not true that adults cannot learn new affective skills, and cognitive learning skills are not limited by age.
