The human brain develops from back to front, so the prefrontal cortex develops lastly. This part of the brain manages processes such as:
- reasoning
- logic
- problem-solving
- planning
- memory
- focus and attention
- developing and carrying out goals
- stopping your impulses
- developing your personality
Basically, the skills the brain uses to think, learn, read, remember, pay attention, and solve problems. The frontal lobe matures in spurts and takes years to develop.
