Document Summary

The brain and nervous system the architecture of the brain although initially framed by genetic factors, is continually being modi ed by environmental factors critical to the eventual structure and fxn of this complex body part. Humans exhibit 2 di kinds of plasticity: some herons are sensitive to experience-expectant information neurons begin to grown and di erentiate rapidly at about the time they can be. Expected to receive the kinds of stimulation important to their functioning. Brain lateralization the brain has two mirrorlikek structures: a left and a right hemisphere left side of body/right hemisphere right side of body/left hemisphere sensory info and motor responses. Determinants of motor development many pioneers in developmental psychology advocated a strong maturational theory to explain the orderly acquisition of motor skills now we understand these stages as in uences of both biological and experiential factors. Experiential contributions with gaining complex motor skills, it is obvious that experience plays a role.
