Chapter 4

Nature, Nurture, and Human Diversity
"During early childhood -- while excess connections are still on call -- youngsters can most easily master such skills as the grammar and accent of another language. Lacking any exposure to language before adolescence, a person will never master any language. Likewise, lacking visual experience during the early years, those whose vision is restored by cataract removal never achieve normal perceptions." -- Page 149

This image depicts the experiences in which a normal human exists within the boundaries of. All people are exposed to a vast array of other people, places, objects, sounds, sights, et cetera. These experiences are taken in through a person's Five Senses - sight, touch, taste, smell, and hear. All of these experiences build up an adolescent's brain development. The exposure, as an adolescent, helps the brain cells associated with all of these sense one experiences to further flourish and develop, gaining strength and formulating the proper connections necessary to further develop as the adolescent grows beyond the childhood stage.
