Document Summary
So we want to see/understand key events that play this role. Neurons (psychological difficulty, lack of adjustment) are only acquired during early childhood even though symptoms may not appear until much later: neurons are not sever like psychosis, but they are mental disturbances.

The child is psychologically father to the man: if you"re a child"s parent, you are a precursor to the child (since you came first, and the child is the offspring). Empirical investigations have failed to show such a clear and direct association: it is problematic and subjective of a method to come up with conclusions. Sensitive periods are concerned with probabilities of certain forms of learning being higher within certain age ranges: critical periods of lang: exposed to lang, develops a understanding but not yet expresses it though)
