All of the choices are correct. Experience in a supportive environment helps shape the nervous system, is critical for optimal development, and is fundamental to infant learning. Synaptic pruning, the process of eliminating unnecessary neural connections, is one way the nervous system is shaped through supportive experiences. Without supportive experiences, optimal development may not occur, and infants may not learn foundational skills necessary for later development.
