Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long periods of neural plasticity and greater-than-usual amount of synaptic pruning suggest that Diana has had a more active brain in terms of learning and adapting. This is likely to result in higher performance on intelligence tests. However, this information does not provide any evidence to suggest that she may have social or attention difficulties or abnormal synapse production.
