Neural plasticity is greatest between ages 2 and 5 years, when the brain experiences the majority of its development. Researchers believe there are frames of time in which neural connections in a given region of the brain form more readily than others. Children in this age group are able to quickly learn and retain new information and skills. Adults, however, are developmentally no longer capable of forming as many new neural connections. Therefore, the correct answer is c., learning a foreign language.
