MacArthur Studies of Successful Aging found that people with more years of schooling are more likely to continue high cognitive function. It may also set a pattern well into older adulthood of continued participation in educational activities (Rowe & Kahn, 1998).
However, according to Mehrotta (2003), for those subgroups (Hispanics and Blacks) who are not as well educated, there is a need for more classes on study skills, memory techniques, and learning approaches, which promote more self-regulated Third Age learners. See the comments of Maria and Mimose. This is the way to bridge the gap between the education gap.
