Abstract
The principal focus of the study was to identify the perceptions of the leaders in three professional associations (AAACE, ASTD, GSA) about changes in learning and work behaviors related to the aging process. A 40‐item, true‐false self‐assessment inventory was used to collect the data. Gerontology leaders scored the greatest number of correct perceptions, followed by adult education, and traing and development leaders. Implications for adult education practitioners are provided.Keywords
