Abstract The term plasticity generally refers to the brain’s ability to recover function that was lost as the result of a defined insult that produced a discrete lesion. It is generally accepted that the brain of a child is more plastic, and therefore has a potentially greater capacity for recovery, than does the brain of an adult. The same premise holds for the brain of an infant relative to the brain of an older child. In adults, both large and small lesions can produce large behavioral deficits, while in the child many very large lesions result in relatively small behavioral deficits, presumably due to the greater capacity of plasticity (Nass & Gazzaniga, 1987).
