Watch the video and answer the questions.
Why did we visit Dr. Frederic Dick of Birkbeck College London?
Can we only learn certain topics at certain times? Why?
1) Because he is a leading expert in the development of children’s brains.
2) To find out more about the field.
We can continue to learn even after the development years due to brain plasticity.
Find out what the video is mainly about. Choose the answer from a, b, c.
The latest research finding on brain research.
Why people can learn from birth until death.

It is the kind of learning that an animal or a human does quite early on in development. This is a development that is relying upon features in the environment that you can reliably encounter. Developing system relies upon this kind of low-level perceptual input.
It is the kind of learning you do every day and that reflects your experiences and actions as an individual. This is really where we start to build the scaffolding of knowledge that allows us to do many complex skills.
a practising motor skills
b Learning a foreign language
