- From ages 3-6, the brains neural network is sprouting most rapidly in the frontal lobes. 
The association areas of the cortex- those linked with thinking, memory, and language are the last brain areas to develop. Fiber pathways supporting language and agility proliferate into puberty.]]> 2017-09-21 12:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cooperwilliams817/7m3or1l94ax4/wish/189697767 cooperwilliams817 https://padlet.com/cooperwilliams817/7m3or1l94ax4/wish/189702673 Maturation- biological growth processes that enable orderly changes in behavior, relatively uninfluenced by experience
