The Kennard Principle best describes the recovery of which of the following functions following brain damage?
A) movement
B) spatial relations
C) language
D) all neural functions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kennard Principle states that recovery of function following brain damage is more likely in functions that are less well established, or in functions that are more reliant on multiple brain regions. Language is a function that involves multiple brain regions and continues to develop throughout adolescence and early adulthood, making it more likely to recover following brain damage. Movement, on the other hand, is a more established function and is less likely to recover fully. Spatial relations and all neural functions are too broad to accurately apply the Kennard Principle.
