Based on what researchers have learned regarding experience and neural development, which statement best reflects their findings?
A) At all points in development, intrinsic and environmental factors interact to support the structures and functions of the brain.
B) In infancy, genetics and biological functioning are more important for brain growth.
C) In infancy, experience plays a more significant role in brain growth than genetics.
D) The brain experiences the most growth prenatally which means that genetics plays a greater role than the environment.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Researchers have found that both intrinsic factors such as genetics and biological functioning, as well as environmental factors such as experiences, interact to support the development of the brain throughout all stages of development. While experiences may have a greater impact in certain stages, it is the combination of both genetic and environmental factors that ultimately shape neural development.
