Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ideal age for damage to the brain's speech center would be at the age of 2 because the brain is still malleable and has the ability to rewire itself to compensate for the damage. In contrast, as a person gets older, the brain's plasticity decreases, making it harder for the brain to reorganize and recover lost functions.
