Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plasticity of the cerebral cortex refers to its ability to change and adapt in response to experiences and learning. A highly plastic cerebral cortex would therefore have a high capacity for learning, and this is consistent with option D. Option A (slightly plastic, high capacity) and option C (slightly plastic, moderate capacity) are contradictory and illogical because a slightly plastic cortex would be expected to have a lower capacity for learning than a highly plastic cortex. Option B (highly plastic, low capacity) is also illogical because a highly plastic cortex would be expected to have a higher capacity for learning.
