    If I had the ability to choose which type of memories to give up in the case of brain trauma or injury, I would choose to give up my memories of the past if I were a relatively young age at the time of the brain trauma. Losing my long-term memory would mean that I would lose all my memories up through the accident. I would lose all the good memories from my childhood, my marriage, my children’s birth, and other wonderful events that happened. At the same time, I would also lose any bad memories of things that occurred in the past. Upon losing my long-term memory, I would no longer have my memories of the past, yet I would still be able to form new memories while living my life.…

    1.) Biological (including neurobiological), psychological, social, and developmental factors that are important for understanding the child’s behavior. Some of the biological and neurological factors that would be considered in this case are the effects of trauma on the child’s brain development. Applegate& Shapiro (2005) explained, “Thus, while the brain is thought to remain plastic and responsive to new experience throughout life, early childhood experience is particularly salient because the neuronal organization and structure of the brain is still in its formative stages” (p. 15).…
