However, children who are raised in homes with lower socioeconomic conditions may have minimum access to quality health care, nutrition, and opportunities for learning (Cherry, 2015). Children from a low socioeconomic status could improve if they are placed in a nurturing environment. However, Genie’s case was extreme and she missed the critical stages to acquire language (Cherry, 2015). Some researchers have introduced the term critical period…
