Chapter 7 Part 4 Flashcards
Failure to drive certain functions can lead to loss
Use it or lose it
Training of certain brain functions can lead to improvement
Use it and improve it
The nature of training experience dictates the nature of plasticity
Specificity
Induction of plasticity requires sufficient repetition
Repetition matters
Induction of plasticity require sufficient intensity
Intensity matters
Different forms of plasticity occur at different times of training
Time matters
The training must be important to induce plasticity
Salience matters
Training induced plasticity occurs more readily in younger people
Age matters
Plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance the acquisition of similar behaviors
Transference
Plasticity in response to one experience can interfere with the acquisition of other behaviors
Interference
