But we know for a fact that plasticity does drop with age, that's why it's so difficult to learn foreign language after childhood.
It helps a lot that they're completely immersed in the language, by people who want to help them learn, and they desperately need to tell us things with no alternative.
Children absorb language like a spknge because they are forced to by necessity. Moved to a Spanish speaking country and in three years I could run linguistic circles around any three year old. (half joke but you get the point hopefully)
For a fact, until it isn't for a fact. Unfortunately things may change like how majority of physics was disproven in the early 1900
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
