How the Brain Develops Part 1
The areas nearer
the back of our
brain develop
first.
These areas are in
charge of skills such
as co-ordination
(moving your body)
and vision (seeing
things).
The last part of our brain to develop is the area at the
front of the brain; its fancy name is the ‘pre-frontal cortex’.
This area of the brain is in
charge of more complex
thinking skills.
These skills help us to
concentrate, plan ahead,
make decisions, work with
others and solve problems.
They help us to do well in
learning and life.
