In his lecture, Prof. Ahmad Suryawan delved into the significance of critical and sensitive periods in child development, emphasizing how these unique windows influence lifelong brain architecture. Prof. Suryawan explained that critical periods, brief and irreversible, are times when brain circuits are exceptionally responsive to nutrition and environmental input. Meanwhile, sensitive periods, though broader, allow for some flexibility and even re-opening, though at a higher cost and effort.
