Detailed explanation-1: -Genie’s words were “doctor” and “tie”, although by that time she had learned more than a hundred words. But those words were her passive. By the time she produced her first word she was 14 years and a month. Since that moment, Genie began to talk by repetition of different words.
Detailed explanation-2: -Linguists ultimately concluded that because Genie had not learned a first language before the critical period had ended, she was unable to fully acquire a language. Furthermore, despite the clear improvements in her conversational competence it remained very low, and her vocalizations remained highly atypical.
Detailed explanation-3: -Despite scoring at the level of a 1-year-old upon her initial assessment, Genie quickly began adding new words to her vocabulary. She started by learning single words and eventually began putting two words together much the way young children do.
