Computerized axial tomography (CAT): A technique that uses X-ray technology to provide enhanced, 3-dimensional images of the part of the body scanned.
Positron emission tomography (PET): A method of localizing and measuring brain activity using computer-assisted motion pictures of the brain
Electroencephalograph (EEG): A technique that measures electrical patterns in the brain created by neuron movements using electrodes attached to the scalp.
Event-related potential (ERP): Measurements that assess electrical activity of the brain through the skull or scalp.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI): An MRI is an imaging technique that uses a magnetic field along with radio waves and a computer to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. A functional MRI uses the MRI to measure the tiny changes that take place in the brain during brain activity.
Near-infrared optical tomography (NIR-OT): A technique that uses an optical fiber to transmit near-infrared light through the scalp and into the brain. Some of the light is reflected back, indicating blood flow and oxygenation in the blood that reveal brain activity

Development
-
Orderly, adaptive changes we go through between conception and death; these developmental changes remain for a reasonably long period of time.

Maturation
-
Genetically programmed, naturally occurring changes over time.
-
Sensitive periods
-
Times when a person is especially ready to learn certain things or responsive to certain experiences.
