Peer reviewedNewman, Sally; And Others – Educational Gerontology, 1995
Participants in an intergenerational school volunteer program (26 adults over 60) completed memory instruments at 3 time periods.

Dramatic positive mood changes were noted for those over 70 and those who were college educated. (SK)
