What participants were in the Maguire study (2)
Taxi and non taxi drivers
What were the specific participants of the study
Owl monkeys
how long did the participants practice their skill
3 months
What did the Maguire study find relating to this section of the brain
The hippocampus was larger in taxi drivers than non taxi drivers
Neural Network
how does brainrot relate to neuroplasticity
its the complete opposite
What was the part of the brain examined through the study
Sensory cortex
What are 2 potential GRAVES problems with the study
generalizability-small sample size
Validity-hard to verify if people actually juggled at their houses
Reliability-only studied once
What substance is located in sections of the brain and shows where information processing occurs
Grey matter
Which process helps someone recover from sensory loss and increases other senses after the loss of one.
Cortical remapping
When does Neuroplasticity begin to decline
Never
What was the studies findings
The brain could redistribute tissue to un-used sections and rewired for other uses
What type of memory does this skill rely on
visual memory
What 3 sections of the brain most relate to Neuroplasticity
cortex, amygdala and the prefrontal hippocampus
How does the brain improve efficiency and precision of brain functions, as well as keep the brain healthy/fresh
Neural Pruning
