Detailed explanation-1: -Children’s brains develop in spurts called critical periods. The first occurs around age 2, with a second one occurring during adolescence.

Detailed explanation-3: -The critical period hypothesis (CPH) states that the first few years of life constitute the time during which language develops readily and after which (sometime between age 5 and puberty) language acquisition is much more difficult and ultimately less successful.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some examples of strong critical periods include the development of vision and hearing, while weak critical periods include phenome tuning-how children learn how to organize sounds in a language, grammar processing, vocabulary acquisition, musical training, and sport training (Gallagher et al., 2020).
