childeren learn language very quickly based on relatively limited time spent interacting with asults this is taken as support for the nativist veir of language development and is called the
critical period hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that there is a specific period in early childhood, often between birth and puberty, during which the brain is highly receptive to language input and acquisition occurs more easily and naturally. The critical period hypothesis proposes that if a child is not exposed to language during this period, their ability to acquire language may be significantly impaired or even permanently limited. This supports the nativist view of language development, which argues that humans have an innate capacity for language and that certain linguistic abilities are hard-wired into our brains.
