!! Early brain development
determines behavior
!! Nature and nurture combine to
maximize development

!! The Working Brain
!! Making it Work

1. Development hinges on the interplay between nature and nurture
!! The brain is affected by environmental conditions !! Nourishment
!! Care
!! Surroundings
!! Stimulation received
![Page 5: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !! The Working Brain](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041423/5e20b9963546ce0a2569c541/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

!! Nature !! The !wiring" of the brain is activated as the
child
!! Reacts to stimuli
!! Takes in information
!! Processes it
!! Stores it

!! Nature !! During the first 3 years of life the majority of
connections are made – 2X as many as
necessary

!! Nature !! Cells that go astray often die before harm
is done

!! Nature !! Those in the wrong place at the wrong
time may cause neurological disorder
!! Infantile epilepsy Autism
!! Schizophrenia Dyslexia

!! Nature !! High quality prenatal care can
minimize these conditions

!! Nature + Nurture !! Connections made through repeated
experiences become permanent
!! Unused connections are eliminated

"! Nurture 1.! How people develop
2.! Their ability to learn
3.! Their capacity to regulate their own
emotions.

"! Nurture
!! Control of emotions based on early
experiences and attachments

2. Brain development follows a regular
course
!! The brain development of infants and
toddlers proceeds at a staggering pace.
!! By the age of three
a child#s brain has
1,000 trillion neurons
![Page 15: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !!

"! Brain Development
"! This number holds steady through the
first ten years of life
"! By late adolescence, half of all the synapses have been discarded
![Page 16: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !!

!! Brain development
!! Becomes a process of pruning
!! Extra neurons are eliminated
![Page 17: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !!

!! Brain development !! Repeated connections are less likely
to be pruned

!! Brain development !! Young children#s brains are especially
ready for learning
![Page 19: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !! The Working Brain](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041423/5e20b9963546ce0a2569c541/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

!! Brain development
!! By 1 - Infant#s brain looks like brain of
an adult.
!! By 2 - Brains are as active as adults
!! By 3 - Brains are
2 ! times more active than adult brain
Stay that way for the first 10 years of
life
![Page 20: Early brain development Nature and nurture combine to · Early brain development determines behavior !! Nature and nurture combine to maximize development . 3 !!

3.! It is very easy for the human brain to
change but timing is crucial
!! Timely, intensive care can change
the brain
!! 0-6 are most important
!! The first 10 years – critical periods

4.! Negative experiences
Absence of growth-filled experiences
Have serious and long-lasting effects.

Negative experiences
!! Depressed mother of 6-18 month old
infant slows brain activity in the infant
!! Early exposure to drugs or trauma can
have long-lasting, harmful effects
!! Poverty can increase these risks

5.!Prevention and early treatment is wise: !! Intensive
!! Well-designed
!! As young as possible

1.!Do no harm !! Strong bonds with their infants within the
first few months of life
!! Quality child care and early education must be assured

2.!When a child needs help, intervene
quickly and intensively
!! Consistent and responsive care
cushions the child

3.!Promote the healthy development and learning of each child
!! Early help is best
!! More difficult and takes longer to help older children
