Beyond What Develops When Neuroimaging May Inform How Cognition Changes With Development

摘要: There is no single methodology that can fully explain the nature of human development and learning. Yet, headway being made on how cognitive milestones are achieved during with use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. With this methodology, it possible to assess changes in brain structure, function, connectivity. Recent findings suggest both progressive regressive processes—as opposed simple linear patterns change—underlie abilities. Functional MRI studies biological maturation learning correspond a fine-tuning neural systems enhanced recruitment task-relevant regions. This cortical corresponds their connectivity subcortical circuitry. In sum, has helped move field beyond questions what develops when, these may occur.
