Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Shortly after birth, human brains expand rapidly with the experience of an entirely new world. During this period, neurons in the newborn brain compete with one another to form lasting connections, called synapses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt to changes in an individual’s environment by forming new neural connections over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Repetition creates long term memory by eliciting or enacting strong chemical interactions at the synapse of your neuron (where neurons connect to other neurons). Repetition creates the strongest learning-and most learning-both implicit (like tying your shoes) and explicit (multiplication tables) relies on repetition.
