Neuroplasticity Assignment

For this assignment, first watch these two short videos about neuroplasticity.  (Click on the "cc" at the bottom right of each video for closed captioning.)

It's pretty incredible that when the brain first forms the entire brain is connected and then, based on our experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, we literally program our own brains.  For this assignment, answer the following questions:

1. What does the fact that you can rewire your own brain mean for you personally? (18 points)

2.  What is one behavior that you regularly have that could benefit from some reprogramming?  What positive behavior could you replace it with? (14 points)

3.  What is one thought that you regularly have that could benefit from some reprogramming?  What positive thought could you replace it with? (14 points)

4.  What is one emotion that you regularly have that could benefit from some reprogramming?  What positive emotion could you replace it with (often choosing the opposite emotion works well for this)? (14 points)
