Discuss the effectiveness of therapy with children.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why do scientists believe that the process of synaptic pruning occurs?
 
  a) In order for the brain cells to fit within the skull cavity, some neurons must be sacrificed.
   b) This process aids the brain in handling the explosive growth of information to which children are exposed.
   c) The only way for the brain to stay young is to discard some of the
   older neurons that have developed over time.
   d) As a child is exposed to stimuli, he or she becomes overwhelmed and
   the brain compensates by reducing the total number of brain connections.

Answer to Question 1

Evaluation is a key factor. A variety of therapeutic interventions is helpful. Play is helpful with young children. Cognitive-behavioral approaches using exposure and cognitive restructuring are also effective. Methylphenidate drugs are helpful with children with ADHD. However, research comparing the effectiveness of different techniques is just under way. No definitive conclusions are possible at this time.
