SOCI 200 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Synaptic Pruning, Primitive Reflexes, Synaptogenesis
Document Summary
Chapter 4 - independent questions: physical changes, the brain and nervous system. 1. (a) is the reproductive system fully developed at birth? (b) although the brain and nervous system are not fully developed at birth, some structures of the brain are fully developed. Your textbook states that this efficiency comes at a cost. Identify and define the cost" or neuroplasticity. (c) the fourth, fifth, and sixth paragraphs state three implications about the cyclical pattern of human brain development (i. e. , synaptogenesis then synaptic pruning). In later chapters, we will discover additional brain structures associated with the skill of attention. : reflexes and behavioural states. Does research support this mother"s advice: developing body systems and motor skills, how do changes in infants" bones, muscles and lungs/heart contribute to their motor and manipulative (grasping) skills? (see the sub-headings bones , muscles , and lungs and. Your textbook outlines several factors that influence when a preterm infant will catch up to their peers.
