Alright! Strap in, it's time to dive into the exciting world of developmental psychology!

Trauma deprivation & critical periods

Picture your life as a really high-stakes game of 'Simon Says'. There are certain things, like language acquisition, that the brain is wired to pick up during specific time frames known as 'critical periods'. The catch? If Simon doesn't say "learn language now," it might never happen!

 

Example: If you are denied exposure to a language during your early childhood (a critical period for language development), you may struggle to fully acquire a language later. It's like showing up late to the 'Simon Says' game, and Simon already said "learn to hop on one foot" - you've missed your chance!

Case studies - not always the perfect solution

Case studies can be incredibly useful for studying these critical periods. However, they come with their own bundle of challenges. Imagine trying to get consent from a child who's been so severely deprived, they can't understand what's being asked. Ethics anyone?

 

Case Study Spotlight: Genie

The case of Genie (1974) is a pretty famous one. She was a girl who experienced severe deprivation and trauma, including a lack of exposure to language. However, we can't jump to conclusions just from Genie's case. Why? She suffered from several abuse factors, not only language deprivation, which makes it a bit like trying to solve a puzzle when several pieces are missing!
