Neural plasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by changing the pattern of neural connections as we learn. This essentially means the brain can rewire itself. There are three main levels of connectivity:

- Individual synapses
Levels of Connectivity

Read MoreThe Influence of Pedagogy and Psychology on Early Childhood Education
Introduction
Early childhood education, as we understand it today, is the result of an approach based on teaching and psychological knowledge about our students. This document will explore the influence of mainstream educational and psychological theories on childhood education, focusing on their contributions to the current view. We will analyze relevant and innovative experiences, such as renewing projects, and provide a critical assessment of them.
