Researchers interested in finding out how the brain develops localized functioning would use different participant groups including
A)children who have suffered injuries and their parents as a control group.
B)children who have suffered injuries and their siblings as a control group.
C)both infants with typical development and those who have suffered injuries.
D)only children who have suffered brain injuries for insights into mapping.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By including both infants with typical development and those who have suffered injuries, researchers can compare brain functioning and localize specific functions to certain areas of the brain. Using only children who have suffered brain injuries would not provide an accurate representation of typical brain functioning. Choosing to use siblings or parents as a control group would not be effective as they may share genetic and environmental factors that could affect brain development.
