- Critical Period
- The fourth is choosing between catch-up and compensatory routes: when a window has closed, acquisition is sometimes still possible by a different route at higher cost — cochlear implants routing around a closed auditory critical period, sign-language acquisition engaging a different module than spoken-language critical-period acquisition.
This sourceShows that delayed first-language exposure (deaf signers, late sign-language acquisition) permanently constrains later language ability, evidencing compensatory/alternative routes around a closed language critical period (sign language, cochlear implants).
