    This chapter discusses how universal human development is shaped by cultural socialization processes. There are sensitive periods in early childhood where individuals can most easily acquire skills like language and cultural norms. For example, bilinguals who learned a second language early in life show no difference in brain activity depending on the language, but late learners activate different brain regions. Cultural socialization also influences parenting styles, views of childhood, and cognitive skills developed through education. Schooling provides cultural experiences that impact memory and analytical skills.
