The relatively quick transition from D to A could also result from changes in brain 'wiring'.

Every change in learning is a change in brainwiring. That term doesn't explain anything.

With wiring I didn't mean the 'normal' means of learning and brain plasticity (some of which doesn't involve any rewiring but 'just' changes of weights and creation of proteins; see e.g. memory consolidation). I meant large scale brain reorganization like the Brain changes at puberty 'help to develop intellectual machinery'.
