Document Summary
Be familiar with the concept of critical periods in neural development, And of their general features many complex behaviours can be innate, Independent of experience - no critical periods for circuit change - Foraging, fighting, response to predators, mating strategies other. More complex behaviours shaped by environment, which has the. Greatest effect during critical periods - substantial variation in. Timing and duration of critical periods - parental imprinting in. Hatchling birds - lasts hours of days in early post-hatching. Development - sensorimotor skills last much longer and ends less. Abruptly - human language acquisition - exposure has to be frequent. Andover a long period common features of critical periods - Experiences after the period ends have much less impact on behaviour. Absence of appropriate environmental influences during the critical.
