  1. since of her two examples for sensitive periods, you might
  2. wonder what their purpose is.
  3. As you might have assumed there is an evolutionary function
  4. reason for them.
  5. This is because of two points.
  6. Firstly, learning skill is more efficient during a sensitive period
  7. that it's simply because experiences have the biggest impact on
  8. our development during this time.
  9. As a result, we acquire skills readily and quickly.
  10. The second factor is that focusing on specific behavior allows
  11. us to perfect it.
  12. In this way, the sensitive periods enable us to be
  13. best prepared for life, and they also create an evolutionary
  14. advantage over those who do not benefit from sensitive periods.
  15. Now that you know the purpose off sensitive periods, I
  16. would like to point out practical significance off conducting research
  17. on them.
  18. I will do so with the examples off the studies
  19. that you just learned about so grating acuity and language
  20. and hearing development for grating acuity.
  21. It is useful to know when the sense of periods
  22. occur because it shows went to intervene surgically.
  23. In this case, it means that the diagnosis and intervention
  24. should happen as early as possible to prevent long term
  25. consequences for language and hearing development.
  26. On the other hand, the knowledge allows us to specifically
  27. foster language development and language learning.
  28. For instance, this can be done by raising Children bilingual.
