Document Summary
Brain plasticity- compensation for loss and normative development process (in response to environmental input) The length and amount of plasticity for an individual can be changed based on environmental input. How do they become the person they are today: understanding biology and environment interact. Embeddedness = any individual behavior it is embedded within a context (biological, social, and cultural factors); anyone one person sits within multiple context. Plasticity= part of who we are we are biologically prepared for the world and how the world shapes our biological. Development and evolution: embeddedness - have to understand all the persons. (inner circle) dna, cell, tissue, organ, system, organism, environment (outer layers and interaction of context or can"t understand their behaviors or them circle) Arrows between layers are bidirectional influences (work in two directions) Within an organism- if we have issues with a system, then the issues with the larger system level impact downward towards your dna and back out.
