Read the following quote
“The frontal lobe contains the motor cortex and also houses the prefrontal cortex. This area is akin to a conductor or executive of the brain – organizing, controlling, and managing behaviour, and making high-level decisions about socially appropriate behaviour…” (Zillmer, Spiers, & Culbertson, 2008, p. 160).
In this assignment, you will explore the role of the frontal lobe in executive functioning. The frontal lobes are amongst the last to develop in children.
Explain the development of executive functioning in children
present the consequences of injury to the frontal lobes during development
Explain what plasticity is
explain whether plasticity can or cannot support full recovery of function in children and adults following traumatic brain injury.
With your selected topic, write an essay that addresses the two parts that follow:
Part 1: describe the role of the frontal lobe in executive functioning.
Use relevant theories to explain how the frontal lobe is involved in controlling behaviour, decision-making, and other cognitive processes
Part 2: Apply the theory discussed in Part 1. You should explain the consequences of frontal lobe injury during development and present arguments using empirical evidence for and against the idea that plasticity can support full recovery of function.
