What causes remodeling, or pruning, during middle childhood? how is this process different in each individual child?

Answer and explanation;

-Maturation in the form of synaptic pruning, or remodeling, is a spontaneous process. In addition, the brain develops in large part due to the unique experience of each child because synapses that are used more frequently tend to be retained, and those that are not are lost.

-Middle age is the period between early childhood and early adolescence, approximately from ages 6 to 11. Synaptic pruning is a natural process that occurs in the brain between early childhood and adulthood. During synaptic pruning, the brain eliminates extra synapses. Synapses are brain structures that allows the neurons to transmit an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron.
