The Neuroscience of Early Multilingualism
The human brain is most receptive to language acquisition between birth and age 7, a phase known as the critical period. During this window, high levels of neuroplasticity allow children to acquire Mandarin, Spanish, and English simultaneously, not just as subjects, but as native cognitive pathways.
