Come to think of it, beating the pants off youthful plasticity accounted for why I didn't do a lot of studying in college.
More seriously: yeah, IME the idea that 18-year-olds are more able to learn than 30-year-olds is mostly a socially constructed self-fulfilling prophecy.
I often think that more of pre-adult education should be about teaching people how to put effort into things, and a good work ethic, rather than just facts.
