Abstract/Notes: Is a dog ever too old to learn new tricks? We review recent findings on sensitive periods in brain development, ranging from sensory processing to high-level cognitive abilities in humans. We conclude that there are multiple varieties of, and mechanisms underlying, these changes. However, many sensitive periods may be a consequence of the basic processes underlying postnatal functional brain development.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter reconstructs the British Montessori debate 1919–1923 as reflected in the Times Educational Supplement. Focus is on the reception within the teaching community from which the Montessori movement recruited most of its followers, as well as the response from leading educationalists. While the latter group embraced the Montessori principle of liberty, the teachers’ interest in this new method of individual work was more hands on, circling around the didactic materials. There were, however, controversies concerning the correct interpretation of Montessorism, which eventually led to the split of the British Montessori Society. The crucial issue was whether a unilateral methodological approach was compatible with the pluralistic freedom of choice of classical liberalism. Many British sympathisers believed that a liberal education ought to offer an eclectic combination of different stimulating educational methods. Whether day-care supplied by unqualified staff was sufficient for 5-year-olds was another debate topic in 1922, in the wake of the Geddes committee’s savings plan.
