Definition
- The concept of a sensitive period refers to a period of time in development during which certain internal or external events have effects that the same events do not have at earlier or later developmental stages. Certain events may determine long-lasting important characteristics of individuals if they occur within a particular developmental period, even if they have no obvious immediate relevance.
