1
Q
  1. Use it or lose it
A

failure to drive specific brain functions can lead to functional degradation

2
Q
  1. use it and improve it
A

training that drives a specific brain function can lead to enhancement of that function

3
Q
  1. specificity matters
A

the nature of the training experience dictates the nature of the plasticity

4
Q
  1. repetition matters
A

induction of plasticity requires sufficient repetition

5
Q
  1. intensity matters
A

induction of plasticity requires sufficient training intensity

6
Q
  1. time matters
A

different forms of plasticity occur at different times during training
- about 1 yr after injury is when you are going to see majority of recovery occurring

7
Q
  1. salience matters
A

training experience must be sufficiently salient to induce plasticity

8
Q
  1. age matters
A

training-induced plasticity occurs more readily in younger brains

9
Q
  1. transference or generalization
A

plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance the acquisition of similar behaviors

10
Q
  1. interference
A

plasticity in response. to one experience can interfere with the acquisition of other behaviors
