Examine the role of experience in brain development. How does the brain respond to experience? What are possible outcomes of reduced or limited experience on children's development?
What will be an ideal response?
Experience affects the rate of myelination, which speeds thought. Different areas of
the brain become more highly developed and specialized as a result of experience.
Dendrites increase in density and brain activity generally increases. Possible
outcomes of reduced or limited experience on children's development are
developmental delays and learning and memory deficits.
