Richard Franco · Answer 2

The overall size of the brain does not increase dramatically from ages 3-15

Explanation:

The functioning of the brain is still unknown to most citizens. For them, the organ is not considered an important factor for early childhood and its development is seen only as physical growth. The general population believes that brain structures are already ready at birth and that there is no change in the growth of children, this is incorrect. The brain spends a long period of time developing and establishing new brain structures, including changing size. However, total brain size does not increase dramatically between the ages of 3 and 15.
