Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Neuroplasticity means that the brain adapts to new conditions during its constant interaction with its environment. Our brains continue to grow connections, and exposure to new learning results in brain changes, even into advanced old age. The mother can learn to embrace her new role as mother and develop an attachment with the infant.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Declarative or explicit memory storage constitutes a conscious memory for people, places, and things. Procedural or implicit memory is unconscious, and those memories are evident only in performance, not through conscious recall.
