DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILDREN AND ADULTS ACCORDING TO BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

CHILDREN

ADULTS

-A child brain is developing. the development starts in the gestational phase and does not end during labor, it continues it course. During this process variations can be seen and very important brain processes for the evolutionary development of the child. (e.g.Cognitive processes).
-A child brain is undergoing biological synapses formation. In early childhood the brain is going through the development and growing stage of his or her life. Neuronal plasticity is potentialy high and able to organize synaptic circuits. During childhood a persons brain architecture is been setting up.
- The development of the brain architecture depends in expierence, education and learning abilities.
-The brain circuits are been created and are specially been influenced by the enviornment, learning and the cultural immersion.             

 

-The adult brain continues its maturiry course towards the final stage of existency and in process of learning degeneration according to the stage in wich he or she is located.
-the adult has already set up the architecture of his or her brain and plasticity is lower than the infant brain.
