correct answer is false. I wrote true thinking on the same groundsI would reply TRUE.
Reason:- I think the statement that said "... As new information is learned and motor skills develop, new neural connections are formed... " shows that new neural connections are formed when new information is learned and motor skills develop. I took the word "new neural" as an indication that there are no other neural connections before, as a result, telling us there were no neural connections when a baby is born.
I hope I'm not mistaken...
