00:38

assesses and predicts one's ability to learn or do something

00:42

Spirit had nothing to do with the development of the

00:45

that honor goes to princeton's carl campbell brigham though this

00:49

one doesn't fit Spearmint didn't have a whole lot to

00:51

say about language acquisition either A notion that there are

00:54

optimal ages at which to learn language is described by

00:57

the critical period hypothesis which states that the first years

01:01

of life up to say age five represent the time

01:04

01:45

his development of the general intelligence or g factor He

01:49

argued that intelligence was a single ability that could be

01:52

measured and it by testing a series of related cognitive

01:55

tasks Aggie factor could be a sign that spearmon believed

01:58

accurately reflected one's in diligence Nowadays most people refer to
