Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experience-dependent brain development refers to the changes that occur in the brain, structures and neural connections, in response to the experiences we have throughout our lives. This is a result of interactions that are unique to each individual and is not predetermined by our genetic blueprint (as in experience-expectant development). Stimuli-expectant and reactive-expectant are not commonly used terms in the field of neuroscience.
