Age And Brain Plasticity

Ongoing psychological research explores many potential factors such as the relationship between age and brain plasticity. Early understanding of bilingualism has been scientifically proven to improve neural connections and develop synapses in an individual’s brain. The development of synapses helps to build these neural connections, and speed up an individuals thought process. These developments are believed to occur because the majority of the brain’s maturation occurs during the early years of life. Researchers are still making an effort to find the true connection between age and capability to learn a second language. What researchers do know is that fMRI images show the specific structures and functions formed in Broca’s Area, (the center
