The mind thus prunes all available connections. Pruning isessential because it gives a strong
foundation to the remaining relationships. Additionally, itmakes the brain adaptable to the
environment that surrounds it.What is the critical period of language learning?The period
between 0-7 years in a child he/she tends to recognize the frequency ofsounds and
