Child Growth and Development Chapter
9 Study Guide Exam Questions and
Answers
What are neurons? - Answer-Nerve cells.

What are neural pathways? What causes them to develop? - Answer-The links between
neurons that are developed by stimulation and allow you to control body functions and
learn. Responses to experiences allow them to develop.

Both a newborn and a six-month-old may kick their covers off if they feel warm. How is
this response different for these two babies? - Answer-For the newborn, it's a reflex, and
for the 6 month old, it's a learned response.

Newborns learn about the world through their senses. What part of the brain receives
this sensory information? - Answer-The cerebrum receives this.

What part of the cerebrum allows more complex learning? - Answer-The cortex.

What role do axons and dendrites play in the brain? - Answer-They connect the neurons
and act as transmitters (they are the pathways).

What is the role of neurotransmitters in communicating between neurons? - Answer-
Axons release chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters cross the synapse
(the gap) between neurons to bring the message to the dendrite of the other neuron.

How is the brain organized with neural pathways? - Answer-Neurons link together
becoming systems of nerve cells that control a particular action or thought.

After stacking blocks repeatedly, a baby becomes skilled at stacking them quickly. How
does the development of connections in the brain explain this skill? - Answer-Repetition
makes connections stronger as neurons work together to make a skill easier.

What can a caregiver do to help the development of a baby's brain pathways? - Answer-
Make sure there is a lot of sensory input and repetition.

What is myelin? How does its presence in the brain affect learning? - Answer-Myelin is
a waxy substance that connects axons. It speeds nerve function and makes it easier for
a child to learn an activity.

How is perception related to learning? - Answer-Perception is the ability to learn through
the information received through our senses.
