  1. 3. the peak early-development process of forming neuronal connections, crucial for learning and sensory processing
  2. 6. key skills like walking or talking that most children achieve by a certain age, used to track if they are developing normally.
  3. 7. temporary, tailored support from a more knowledgeable person that helps a learner master tasks just beyond their current ability, gradually removed as competence increases.
  4. 11. where children learn that others have unique thoughts and feelings, showing empathy. Coming up in early childhood, this critical cognitive skill allows people to recognize perspectives different from their own, which is essential for successful social interaction and finding hard relationships.
  5. 12. A child’s foundational bond with caregivers shapes their long-term social, emotional, and cognitive development.
  6. 13. where specific experiences are crucial for wiring in language and social skills
  7. 14. the experience driven elimination of weak or unused neural connections, enhancing brain efficiency from childhood through adolescence
Down
  1. 1. tasks a learner can achieve with assistance, where targeted instruction maximizes learning
  2. 2. the process where children use a caregiver's emotional reactions to gauge how to respond to new situations, promoting social-emotional learning. It acts as a guide for interpreting uncertainty, helping young children understand their environment.
  3. 4. Higher-order processes including working memory, inhibition, and flexibility—that support goal-directed behavior, planning, and self-regulation, developing through childhood and adolescence.
  4. 5. an organized, socially developed set of self-beliefs , traits and abilities that shapes motivation and emotional well-being
  5. 8. provides safety and emotional support, fostering a child’s confident exploration and emotional regulation.
  6. 9. The brain’s ability to rewire its structure and function through experience, learning, or injury, peaking in early childhood.
  7. 10. The interaction between biological maturation and environmental experiences that shapes holistic development.
  8. 11. early life biologically based differences in reactivity and self-regulation that interact with the environment to shape development.
