What is experience dependent growth?
It denotes changes in the brain that are not linked to specific points in development and that vary across individuals and across cultures
Over the course of evolution, human infants have typically been exposed to some forms of stimulation that are used to adjust brain wiring, strengthening some circuits and eliminating others
Young children often recover more skills after brain injury than older children and adults, apparently because functions are more easily reassigned in the young brain
