Question

The rapid development of ________ helps explain why infant brain size increases rapidly in the early days after birth.

a. object permanence
b. epigenetic marks
c. neural networks
d. schemas

Answer 1

The correct option is C) neural networks

Step-by-step explanation:

Doctors have observed that after being born, the brain size of the infant increases by 1% each day for the first three months. Most of the major development in the brain occurs due to the increasing neural networks which start arising from the brain so that the infant can perform actions efficiently. The brain of the infants grows by 64% in the first three months. After this, most of the neural network is made and the growth of the brain starts occurring is a slow manner.
