Windows It is believed that there are certain periods in life, or windows, when some tasks are learned more easily. During those windows certain cells are assigned to perform certain duties. When those periods are over, the cells lose the ability to perform as well. It is possible to learn most anything at any age, but it is easier to learn certain things at certain stages in life and the skill level achieved may be higher.
