and changing current practice. The primary position of empirical research is that it has value if it only contributes to the existing knowledge base. Education is one of
the disciplines most open to examining such evidence and altering practice according to the findings of well-designed and well-executed research, but the focus of corporate training is practical application that
translates to perceptible results in growth and change. Learning Theory Most of the research being conducted in education is geared toward increasing achievement
in public schools, of course, and do not target the adult learner. Even so, much of the information gained from this systematic collection of knowledge can be applied to
adult populations to be beneficial for them as well. Eriksons psychosocial stages have been used for decades, and adult education research in recent years indicates that Eriksons divisions and
description of each is directly applicable to adult learners. Learning Theory for Adults Choice of teaching strategies is dependent on the age and
stage of development of the learner. Both young adulthood and middle-aged adulthood (Hsu, n.d.) age groups are likely to be represented in either general-interest or specialized courses. Both groups
