1. Brainstem before we are born
controls basic functions (breathing and heart
rate)
2. Limbic System Shortly after birth, continues to develop
through adolescence
controls emotions and memory, helps us nav-
igate social situations, regulate emotions and
remember things.
3. Cerebellum begins to develop early in life
controls balance and coordination
helps us performs tasks like typing, writing,
and sports
4. Cerebrum Extensive growth in childhood and adoles-
cence
the largest part of brain

controls higher cognitive function like thinking
reasoning and problem solving.
5. Prefrontal cortex (frontal lobe) begins to progress through grade school
controls impulse control, decision making,
and emotion regulation
allows us to plan, organize, and prioritize
6. Neuroscience Study of the nervous system and brain
7. Curiosity examine new information and resources on
developmental topics.
8. Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) analyze evidence based research and data for
guidance in selection of practices and inter-
ventions.
9. Cognition Mental processes involved in aquiring, pro-
cessing, storing, and using info.
10. Neurodevelopment How the brain grows and changes

12. Pruning Gets rid of brain pathways
13. Brain Development Timeline prenatal (in womb)
birth
newborn (rapid growth)
early childhood (pruning begins, mylenation
continues)
adolescence (development continues espe-
cially in frontal lobe)
adulthood (development begins to slow)
14. True or False True
Cognition encompasses processes such
as memory, perception, reasoning, prob-
lem-solving, and decision-making.
15. True or False False
The prefrontal cortex is responsible for It's primarily involved in higher cognitive func-
balance, coordination, and motor con- tions such as decision-making, impulse con-
trol. trol, and emotional regulation
16. What is functional magnetic resonance Mapping brain activity
imaging (fMRI) primarily used for?
17. Encoding refers to the initial processing of information,
where sensory input is transformed into a
form that the brain can store and use
18. Storage involves retaining this encoded information
over time
19. Retrieval is the process of getting stored information
when needed.
