Experiments Done Baby Brain
There was a scientist that had great knowledge and whose impeccable conclusions are indisputable. The scientist doctor also had a great amount of wisdom. What he had was a wonderful combination given that science is not always wise and wisdom is not always scientific. This doctor had dedicated a great and important part of his life to repeating one same experiment with slight modifications on each occasion. He would start out by raising two groups of new born rats. The rates of the first group lived inside an environment of sensorial isolation; in other words, they lived in an environment in which there was very little to see, hear or touch. The other rats were raised in an environment that had a great amount of sensorial enrichment; in other words, they lived in
an environment in which there was a lot to see, hear and touch. Then he would test the intelligence of the rats by submitting them to several tests, such as placing them in a maze with food at the end. The rats that had been isolated were not capable of finding the food or had a great amount of difficulty in finding it. The rats that had been raised in the enriched environment would find the food very easily and quickly. This scientist would then sacrifice these rats and would study their brains. The rats that had been raised with sensorial isolation has small, clumsy and poorly development brains, while the rats that had been raised with a great amount of sensorial enrichment had big brains, were intelligent and very developed. And he announced his scientific conclusion saying that it would be scientifically unjustifiable to get to the conclusion that if this occurs in rats it would also occur in people. What advantages are there in making the brain develop with use and having in this way more cells that are more mature? This is precisely about the same advantage, in the intellectual sense just like in the case of many famous gymnasts who are able to perform gymnastic tests with such elegance and grace. Even more importantly, the more the gymnast carries out these tests, the more her muscles become developed as well as her coordination, and the more there was of this development, the more elegant and beautiful are the movements of the gymnast. Given the fact that the movements of a professional gymnast are controlled entirely by the brain, the more the gymnast does things with beauty and with success the more her brain would develop and the more is her intelligence as far as movement is concerned is able to grow turning this person literally into a movement genius. In the same way, visual and hearing intelligence of a child increases a great deal when the child has the opportunity of learning a huge amount of information at a very young age. Even if this information is encyclopaedic, of information in the form of words or of data in the form of numbers, the child’s intelligence will increase in proportion to the amount of data that is given to him or her. And what’s more, his brain will physically develop as a consequence.
Perhaps the most important issue of all is that given that a child that is one, two or three years old prefers learning than doing any other thing in the world, the process will make both him and his mother spend some wonderful moments together. By nature the process by which a mother teaches her baby in an honest and concrete way is a process of love and mutual respect, and this makes the brain develop. All of the significant development of the brain has already taken place at six years of age. Nature has planed its most amazing invention in the most excellent way, the human brain, in such a way that in these fundamental first six years of life the child’s brain is able to absorb information with the speed of lightning. The child will have a very big storage or information that will last him his whole life. This information will be the base on which the knowledge and wisdom will develop and prosper from.
