PrepTest 102 - Section 2 - Question 19

Show summary

In all mammalian species, the period of a young mammal's life in which it is most frequently playful coincides with the period of most rapid growth of the neural connections in the mammal's brain that give rise to various complex patterns of movement, posture, and social response. ███████ ███ ██████ ███████████ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██████ █████ ██████ █████████████ ███ ███ ████████ ████████ ███ ██████████ ██ ██ ██████

Summary

We are discussing ALL mammalian species and how play is related to their brain development. At the time a young mammal is most playful, it is also growing brain connections related to movement, posture, and social response at the fastest speed. These brain connections created by play become essential for success as an adult.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Play is good for mammals’ brain development and their success as adults.

Young mammals’ play is somewhat related to the movement, posture, and social response necessary for survival and well-being as an adult.

Any given mammal species (such as a bear or a human) has a relationship between play, neural development, and adult success and well being.

(Note: these are possible wrong answers - we’re looking for the answer choice that is LEAST supported - so it won’t be on the strong side of the support spectrum.
