Q

Critical Period

A

specific time in development where particular environmental stimulation is necessary in order to reach developmental changes in specific abilities

17
Q

Implications of Critical Periods

A
  1. likely to affect parental decisions
  2. could affect decisions to adopt
  3. affects public policy on child intervention
18
Q

Experience-Expectant Brain Growth

A

our brains have evolved to expect a certain amount of environmental input and with this input our brains develop normally

19
Q

Sensitive Periods

A

brain maintains some capacity for change and growth in adulthood, develop according to personal experience
