Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (What are they all) - Microsystem - The

active role (e.g., workplace policies)

suggests that the brain is set to acquire a function during a limited period of time. If key
experiences do not occur during a critical period, the function may not develop or may
not be fully developed.
