New Advances in Understanding Sensitive Periods in Development
Is a dog ever too old to learn new tricks? We review recent findings on sensitive periods in brain development, ranging from sensory to high-level cognitive abilities. We conclude that changes in our ability to adapt to the environment over time are not clear-cut, and that there are multiple mechanisms underlying these changes. However, progress in understanding the basic processes of functiona...

Is a dog ever too old to learn new tricks? We review recent findings on sensitive periods in brain development, ranging from sensory processing to high-level cognitive abilities in humans. We conclude that there are multiple varieties of, and mechanisms underlying, these changes. However, many sensitive periods may be a consequence of the basic processes underlying postnatal functional brain de...
متن کاملSensitive Periods in Brain Development – Implications for Education Policy
Functional plasticity is the ability to change behaviour based on experience. Structural changes in the brain occurring with increasing age are sometimes associated with a reduction in functional plasticity, leading to the idea of sensitive periods in development. In this article we assess the implications of recent findings on sensitive periods in brain development for educational policy. We a...
متن کاملSensitive periods in the development of the brain and behavior.
Experience exerts a profound influence on the brain and, therefore, on behavior. When the effect of experience on the brain is particularly strong during a limited period in development, this period is referred to as a sensitive period. Such periods allow experience to instruct neural circuits to process or represent information in a way that is adaptive for the individual. When experience prov...
متن کاملSensitive periods in functional brain development: problems and prospects.
The articles in this special issue discuss and describe evidence from several sensory domains relating to sensitive periods during postnatal brain development. I begin this commentary with discussion of some of the major themes that emerge from the collection of articles. Then I focus on the implications of the evidence presented in this special issue for three different perspectives on mammali...
