Cognitive Development

Language acquisition and cognitive development of a person especially if referred to as a child is deemed to be a natural process. They have the innate nature to explore their surroundings and try new things such as nibbling on everything they touch and put it in their mouth. As we say, children as they grow up are like sponges. They absorb and process the things they see, hear, feel, and taste. Suffice to say, their senses are vital part of their cognition and development. This concept was supported by Piaget and Vygotsky wherein they suggest that people learn through their senses and process this knowledge and eventually learn. Also they believe in the concept of scaffolding wherein Vygostky emphasizes "it takes a community to raise a child". True enough, it is important that children are well guided as they grow up.

Strengths of Neuroscience

Verified and Tested Data – through developed methods in studying the brain, research suggests objective data about several brain activities that are related to learning
Biological Bases of Learning- the physical brain Structure including the neural circuits, and neurotransmitters are determinants of cognitive learning of people. It is easy to identify the parts of the brain that are responsible for specific functions.

Weaknesses of Neuroscience

Complexity of the Brain – though here are already recognized and published studies about how brain works, still it is a work in progress. Some people refer this as dynamic and ever changing due to new discoveries and vast potential for exploration.
Differences Among Subjects (Individuals) – though the body of a human being is similar with one another in terms of composition, there are still variations in many specific area probably brought by genetics and other factors. With this, it is difficult to make one uniform standard on brain structures.
