Document Summary
Physical changes: the brain and nervous system. At birth, the midbrain and medulla are most developed. The midbrain and medulla are responsible for: regulating vital functions (heartbeat, respiration), attention, At birth, the least developed part of the brain is the cortex. For example, nerves serving the muscle cells in the neck and head are myelinized first (cephalocaudal), thus explaining why babies can move their head before they roll over. 3. primarily regulates the skill of attention? (a) what brain structure. Myelination of the reticular formation beings in infancy and continues in spurts across childhood and adolescence: reflexes and behavioural states, reflexes (i will expand on this section in the chapter 3/4 lecture template) 4. (a)what adaptive reflexes persist across the lifespan: adaptive reflexes. The midbrain and medulla control primitive reflexes. (c) summarize philip zelazo"s research finding about the stepping reflex. Primitive reflexes typically disappear during the first year of life: behavioural states.
