Brain Plasticity

Question 1

AO3 for plasticity

Answer 1

MAGUIRE
2 london taxi drivers compared
they found out london taxi drivers showed a larger hippocampus
Maguire found that the taxi drivers with 14 years of experience had larger hippocampi compared to non-taxi drivers in London through MRI scans.
+ high ecological validity (real taxi drivers)
- correlation does not equal causation

Kuhn et al
2 groups again like maguire
played video game 30 mins per day for 2 months
larger hippocampus
