Unit 1 AOS 1 Dot point 5 Psychology Infant Brain development

The brain develops in a specific sequence. This sequence is?

• The cerebral cortex, followed by limbic system, the cerebellum and finally the brain stem

• The frontal lobe, followed by the cerebellum, the limbic system, and finally the cerebral cortex.

• The occipital lobe, followed by the cerebellum, the limbic system, and finally the cerebral cortex.

• The brain stem, followed by the cerebellum, the limbic system, and finally the cerebral cortex.

What part of the brain is fully developed at birth?

• Frontal lobe

• Amagdala

• Right hemisphere

• Prefrontal cortex

Brain Plasticity:

• Refers to the way the brain changes in response to genetics.

• Refers to the way the brain changes in response to its environment.

• Refers to the brain have similar properties to plastics.

• Refers to the way the brain changes in response to its environment and genetics.

Two types of brain plasticity are?

• Pre-natal Plasticity (Structural) and Neo-natal plasticity (Functional)

• Developmental Plasticity (Structural) and Adaptive plasticity (Functional)

• Primary Plasticity (Structural) and Secondary plasticity (Functional)

• Damage Plasticity (Structural) and Repair plasticity (Functional)

What is the term given to the ability of synapses to be modified throughout stages of development?

• Apaptive plasticity

• Developmental plasticity

• Synaptic plasticity

• Brain plasticity

Adaptive plasticity is:

• The brains ability to compensate for lost function due to brain damage

• The ability of synapses to be modified throughout stages of development.

• The brains ability to compensate for lack of intellectual stimuli.

• The ability of synapses to interaction with new environments.

What are the stages of infant brain development?

• Proliferation, migration, circuit pruning, synaptic formation, myelination

• Proliferation, migration pruning, circuit formation, synaptic growth, myelination

• Neural production, migration, circuit formation, synaptic pruning, myelination

• Proliferation, migration, circuit formation, synaptic pruning, myelination

What stage of infant brain development would this diagram best represent?

• Migration

The term given to the method by which neurons travel from their origin (birth place) to their final position in the brain is called?

• Proliferation

• Migration

• Myelination

• Circuit formation

Which stage of brain development starts near the time of birth and is completed by the time of sexual maturation in humans?

• Migration

• Synaptic pruning

• Myelination

• Proliferation
