Despite their variety, consequences appear to follow a common set of scientific principles and share some similar effects in the brain. Based on these principles, scientists have been able to create mathematical models of certain beahviors. And they have demonstrated that learning form consequences predictably activates genes and restructures the neural configuration of the brain in humans as well as animals; thus demonstrating consequences are an integral part of the nature-and-nurture system.

This book conveys the insights gained from recent empirical research in the field of cognitive development and presents a cumulative account of different aspects of the developing brain and cognition.
