title: [Educational concepts, attitude to learning ability and learning concept in elderly adults--results of an empirical comparison of the aged].
abstract: This article analyzes the attitude of old people to education and learning in old age. The different factors influencing attitude systems are investigated. Moreover, this study investigates the types of association elderly people make with the terms "education" and "learning". The analysis revealed that old people regard learning as an important component of life. "Learning" not only comprises acquisition of knowledge, but is also seen as an increase in the ability to judge and criticize.
