critical period  

Definición

  • Critical and sensitive periods are times when development of a particular area may be most influenced by environmental factors. The terms may be confusing, particularly when applied to behavior, because they do not have commonly accepted meaning and the research designs required to demonstrate them behaviorally can rarely be conducted.
