Question 1

Studies by Harry Harlow showed that the most important element to developing attachment is
◦ feeding.
◦ physical contact.
◦ mental challenges.
◦ sleep.

Question 2

Studies of the infant brain show signs of what scientists call synaptic pruning. What occurs during this process?
◦ The brain creates additional neural connections by removing parts of the surrounding bone.
◦ Unused synaptic connections and nerve cells are cleared out to make way for new cells.
◦ New cells work to "rewrite" old cells and ultimately change their functioning.
◦ New cells will not develop until the body makes sufficient physical space within the brain.
