Cognition -CORRECTANSWER How we take in, process, remember, and use
information (learning, thinking, and problem solving)
Neurons -CORRECTANSWER Brain cells that form a communication network
Neurodevelopment -CORRECTANSWER How the brain grows and changes
Neurodevelopment - Newborn -CORRECTANSWER The brain begins rapid growth
Neurodevelopment - Early Childhood -CORRECTANSWER Myelination continues and
pruning begins
Myelination -CORRECTANSWER Makes pathways stronger
Pruning -CORRECTANSWER Getting rid of pathways not used
Neurodevelopment - Adolescence -CORRECTANSWER Brain development process
continues, especially the frontal lobe
, Neurodevelopment - Adult -CORRECTANSWER Brain development slows
Brain Stem -CORRECTANSWER Controls basic bodily functions (breathing, heart rate,
etc.)
Limbic System -CORRECTANSWER Manages emotions and memory
Cerebellum -CORRECTANSWER Responsible for coordination and procedural learning
Cerebrum -CORRECTANSWER Where higher cognitive functions like language and
problem-solving occur
Prefrontal Cortex -CORRECTANSWER Essential for decision-making, attention, and
emotional regulation
Encoding -CORRECTANSWER Initial process of info where sensory input is
transformed into a form the brain can process
Storage -CORRECTANSWER Involves retaining the encoded info over time
Retrieval -CORRECTANSWER Process of getting stored info when needed
