According to most studies, it is more difficult to make fundamental changes to our methods of learning as adults than it is as children. We are capable of learning "rational" material, but our ability to change the way we understand the world around us is much more difficult once it's set in during our teenage years. I'm actually reading a book called "Changing Minds" about this very topic.

Not necessarily. Adults often have more motivation because they're choosing to learn. My grandmother went back to college and got her Bachelor's degree when she was in her 60's, near the top of her class;)

Easier as I am more disciplined

WAY harder, too many distractions

Kids naturally soak up everything. Adults have the experience and know how to focus. It's been proven that kids learn way more than adults but I don't know if they are better at learning.

consider this.. If you had to relearn EVERYTHING..I don't mean like a stroke, but every single aspect of your life from day 1, learning to eat, pooping, peeing, using your hands, feet, what people look like, the names of EVERYTHING, how to talk, every single utterance ..EVERYTHING like you did at birth how easy do you think that might be at say,,age 40? I bet it would be a HELL of a lot tougher. Imagine having to learn to crawl, walk, fall on your butt over and over..Use a bottle, suck your thumb, breathing, turning over in bed.. Imagine if for example your intelligence was suddenly reverted back to that of a new born infant and you didn't have your mother to support you, just a few nurses in a hospital IF you were lucky. I'm willing to bet life is MUCH MUCH easier to learn from being a new born than at 40. ;)
