Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensitive period in language acquisition refers to a specific window of time during which a child is most receptive to language input and can acquire language relatively easily. This is in contrast to a critical period, which refers to a specific window of time during which language acquisition must occur or it will become much more difficult or impossible. Therefore, Option B is the correct answer as it accurately describes the language acquisition process in humans. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe language acquisition periods.
