Instead of a sensitive period, there is a critical period in:
  1. Being able to attach to a caretaker
  2. Learning a second language
  3. Being able to combine information from two eyes
  4. Learning to play an instrument
Explanation
Answer: C - There is a critical period in being able to combine information from two eyes.
Although numerous different critical periods have been found in both humans and animals in their physical development, scientists are much less reluctant to say that there is a critical period, a time window outside of which it is impossible to learn something, in child’s cognitive development. Rather, they talk about sensitive periods during which it is easier for a child to learn a certain skill.
