Which area of the brain shows an increase in brain pathways and circuitry during middle and late childhood?

The options

A. Frontal lobe

B. Cerebral cortex

C. Prefrontal cortex

D. Temporal lobe

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.

C. PREFRONTAL CORTEX

Explanation:

Santrock (2009) discussed some variations in the brain at a certain age period of 5-12 years as middle and late childhood.

Total brain volume becomes stable at the end of this age range but some certain changes can be noticed at different brain regions. Take for example the PREFRONTAL CORTEX that coordinates the brain pathway and circuitry which is the main level or highest point in the brain will continue to experience positive changes in the middle and late childhood periods. This progressive increase in turn boosts children's improved attention, reason plus cognitive control.

your body is trying to warm itself up. or more precisely, sensors in your skin send messages to your brain to generate heat to your body.

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an objects's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
