Beyond personal growth, learning maintains its significance in older age. It enhances cognitive function, stimulates the brain, and helps ward off mental decline. Engaging in new learning opportunities, such as acquiring new skills or exploring unfamiliar subjects, can even improve memory and boost overall mental well-being.
