If you practice a skill it will...
eventually become impossible to do.
not make it easier.
make it easier and will change the brain.
be easily forgotten, despite what people say.
When does your brain stop developing?
Our brains stop developing as teenagers.
Our brains never stop developing.
Our brains stop developing in our 20s.
Our brains stop developing in out 50s.
What did Nathan Spreng study?
He studied studies to see which parts of the brains were active while learning.
He studied studies to see how scientists studied their studies.
He studied how to make an fMRI scan machine.
He studied the way the blood moved in the brain at the presence of magnets, such as like in an MRI machine.
How do our brain cells talk to one another?
They communicate with fire signals from the myelin sheath.
They do not communicate with each other.
Neurons create electrical signals. The signal moves through the axon and creates a chemical messenger that leaps to the next nerve cell.
They communicate with cellular body movements, such as facial expressions.
When we learn a task communication between cells becomes
more difficult.
less difficult.
less likely to be needed.
less audible by scientists with a stethoscope.
Why can a bad night's sleep be bad for out memory?
Lack of sleep kills off many brain cells.
It makes our brain unable to make fire.
It prevents our brain from storing new memories as we sleep.
It depletes the amount of chemicals in our brain that allows our brain to communicate properly.
When we are sleeping our brain cells
store memories and new information from the previous day.
make the nerve cells weaker.
sleep.
do not do anything important.
Neurons are also known as nerve cells.
True
False
What is one of the roles of the myelin sheath in the brain?
It slows down brain signals.
The are not part of the brain.
It acts as traffic lights so signals don't bump into one another.
It speeds brain signals along.
Is it better to learn information slowly or quickly?
Slowly
Quickly
Where do "Aha!" moments come from?
It is the result of a steady accumulation of information.
It is the result of cramming for a test.
It is the result of your teacher explaining something to you for the 100th time.
It is the result of a disconnection of cells in the brain.
A tool known as an fMRI
allows people to pay attention.
can tell scientists which brain regions are active while a task is being performed.
helps pianists play complicated pieces of music.
changes your brain structure.
One type of glial cell wraps around certain nerve axons to form a/an
neuron
extension of the nerve cell
nucleus
myelin sheath
The more you practice, the less you have to think because
the blood flow is tracked.
nerve cells become more and more efficient as we learn.
there are different regions of the brain.
it takes a lot more effort.
