Anton Gaines · Answer 1

when a particular development occurs most easily

Explanation:

Sensitive periods as originated by Dutch geneticist Hugo de Vries and used by the Italian educator Maria Montessori describes overlapping periods of development where a child is unconsciously sensitive to certain interactions. Usually from birth to 6yrs, this stage is characterized by a child's unconscious abilities to learn from his environment and is able to acquire certain knowledge without even knowing it.
