Windows of Opportunity as a Child's Brain Matures

"If a perfect brain doesn't receive visual stimuli by the age of two, the child will be forever blind, and if it doesn't hear words by the age of 12, the person will most likely never speak a language."  (Souza)

This is why the window of opportunity to learn a foreign language well starts closing at about age 12.

"What is learned while a window of opportunity is opened will most likely be learned masterfully."  (Souza)
