How Does Nature And Nurture Work Together In Brain Development?

This non-empirical article by Nelson is an argument to provide probability that a person’s environment guides in the development of the brain. The author writes about how the interaction of the brain and environmental experience help in the redesigning process we call neural plasticity. Providing three established procedures to show that our experiences are connected to changes within the brain. These three procedures are: anatomical, neurochemical, metabolic, which may be expressed at any time within the lifespan with a variety of outcomes. To positively argue his position, the author provides cognitive, perception and language examples to promote the concept that nature and nurture work together in brain development. Mr. Nelson also indicated
The author provides an example of language to show plasticity of early childhood brains. When someone is deprived of language development or motor skill opportunities the synapses within the brain are lost through pruning, however through advanced opportunities the brain structure or pathways within the brain advance promoting that there is a possibility that experiences can change the direction in which the brain is developing. Through these opportunities there is evidence that psychological, emotional, and intellectual changes can be and are advanced to influence development. Further acknowledging experience and environment go hand in hand in a child’s developing
The information provided by the author promotes the concept that our environments help to shape the development of our brains. He provided ample examples to prove his argument. To advance other theorist conclusions and hypothesis that brain development continues throughout our lives and if we are not continually learning and improving our knowledge of things we can keep the synapses firing.
