Factor in aging and intelligence related to adult learning as applicable. Reference relevant theorists, research, and professional literature.

2. Select two or more adult developmental theories and BRIEFLY discuss physiological development, psychological stages, and/or sociological assumptions. Reference relevant theorists, research, and professional literature. (Course objectives 1 and 2, use your Adult Development paper to assist)
3. Synthesize (blend together) ideas about adult learning and development related to your responses in 1 and 2 above.

Also explain why such an understanding is important. You may address the adult life cycle, lifelong learning, environmental influences, and/or other ideas you find important.
