Question
Chapter 55.1, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To describe: Whether learning can affect the structure of the brain.
Introduction: Cognitive learning is the ability to solve problems with conscious thought. It includes activities like perception, analysis, judgment, recollection, and imagining. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan which is helpful in revealing the areas of the brain that are involved in a particular function.
