ABSTRACT
While the previous chapter focused on different features of different people and groups of people of possible importance for learning – skills, learning style, gender, social background and ethnicity – this chapter will concern what characterises learning at the different stages in the course of life. It is important to maintain here the relation to all of the three dimensions of learning, because even if there is a certain degree of maturing with respect to the learning capacity for content, it can, to at least the same extent, be emotional, motivational, social and societal conditions that change with age and create different learning possibilities and conditions.
