Remember

• Describe how an impulse travels to the neurone

  1. impulse arrives at presynaptic neurone
  2. vesicle fuses with presynaptic membrane, releases neurotransmitters into synaptic cleft
  3. neurotransmitters diffuse
  4. neurotransmitters attach to receptors
  5. impulse is triggered & neurotransmitters are recycled or destroyed once impulse is sent

  
• stages of development

  Childhood: neural connection developed, dense synapse in PFC

  Adolescence: grey matter at maximum density, maturation of limbic system, pfc
• assimilation 


  Using existing schema to deal with new object
• Accommodation 


  Existing schema doesn’t work and needs to be changed to deal with new object
• Decentration 


  Identifying multiple properties of an object simultaneously
• Praise for effort 


  Encourages person to improve
• Praise for intelligence 


  Limiting & no room for development
