Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain injury suffered in childhood generally has less severe consequences than brain injury suffered in adulthood. This is because the brain is still developing during childhood and has greater capacity for rewiring and compensating. In contrast, brain injury in adulthood can lead to more permanent and debilitating effects. The other choices (B, C, D) do not have strong evidence to support them as general statements about the consequences of brain injury.
