What impact does stress have on the growing brain?
In: Biology
Heyo, training teacher here. This isn’t quite the full answer, but I think it’s an aspect. When your stressed, your brain produces a hormone that essentially shuts down your ability to learn. It’s why typically education workers advise avoiding cram studying (amongst other reasons).
Boil it down, if someone is stressed it’s gonna impact their learning, which can be problematic if the concept is foundational to an area of importance.
That’s how I think about it anyway.
(Also, sorry about the fuzziness of terminology, it’s been a little while since I did the course and it wasn’t a very good one at that.).
