Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The growth in connections between brain cells, or neuroplasticity, does not specifically parallel the learning theorists' view. Learning theorists focus on how behavior changes due to the environment, rather than on biological processes like brain development. Piaget's theory, which emphasizes stages of cognitive development, is more closely aligned with the idea of significant leaps in ability, which could be loosely related to brain development, but this does not directly correlate with the learning theorists' perspective on continuous and gradual learning.
