Question

Brain development leads an infant to undergo ____________, which occurs as unused neural connections weaken and disappear. Please select the best answer from the choices provided myelination synaptic pruning motor development developmental trends

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "synaptic pruning." Brain development leads an infant to undergo synaptic pruning, which occurs as unused neural connections weaken and disappear. Synaptic pruning refers to neurological regulatory processes. It facilitates a productive change in neural structure by reducing the overall number of neurons or connections.

Answer 2

Answer:

synaptic pruning

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning occurs as a natural process when childs grow , this means that the brain of a child progressively elminates extra synapses-and leads to a better organization and rearrangement for learning better new things.

The initial experiences gained during infancy years form connections that give a certain development or structure to the brain and with pruning connections unnecesary are eliminated.

This happens because they are not used enough, and the process beging since a baby is born , deep into adolescence and continues to the mid 20-s
