Chapter 49, Problem 49.4CR
Summary Introduction
To review: How learning many languages is easier in childhood than in adulthood.
Introduction:
Neurons are formed in the embryo after regulated gene expression and signal transduction. All neurons need nutrient for growth, and the neurons that reach the correct location survives. Neurons form numerous synapses for proper functions. Neurons stabilize some neurons and destabilize certain neurons.

What is true of prenatal effects on brain plasticity?
Parents' experiences before conception can influence their children's later brain development.
Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not.
Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not.
Gene expression cannot be altered by prenatal experiences but can be altered after a child is born.
Discuss briefly Jean Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development.
What change in neural structure or function must take place for learning to occur? Also, explain how this is innate (genetically determined or enabled) or not innate.

They climb the fence and jump in, playing wildly and loudly in the water. Just a few minutes later, the police arrive. How does adolescent brain development help explain Xavier's poor decision-making? A. The regions regulating his emotions are underdeveloped. B. His limbic system is underdeveloped. C.

- Developmentally, the brain and spinal cord are most closely related to: the neurons that sense taste on your tongue the neurons that send action potentials to your brachialis the neurons that sense pressure in your fingertips All neurons communicate with other neurons via neurotransmitters. True O Falsearrow_forwardWatch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/braindevel) to examine the development of the brain, starting with the neural tube. As the anterior end of the neural tube develops, it enlarges into the primary vesicles that establish the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain. How would you describe the difference in the relative sizes of the three regions of the brain when comparing the early (25th embryonic day) brain and the adult brain?arrow_forwardHow genes do affects the aging of the brain?

- How might studying child language give us different information about the human brain than studying adult language?arrow_forwardResearch demonstrates substantial cognitive declines by older adults in laboratory tasks. However, older adults often do not show deficits when performing tasks during their everyday lives. (1) If laboratory performance by older adults is so different in terms of neurology as well as cognitive and emotional processing, how do they cope so well in everyday life? (2) How do differences between normal and pathological aging translate into differences in everyday functioning?arrow_forwardProvide three pieces of evidence that suggest language development is innatearrow_forward
