Abstract
The “critical period” and “sensitive period” are two related but also different concepts. Early studies
about music training believed that early music training is important but later training is poor or even ineffective to the critical
period during human's brain development. Subsequent studies have shown that the brain nervous system has lifelong
plasticity and music training during the sensitive period has the significant effect on psychological cognition and neural
construction. However, music training after the sensitive period can still improve mental cognition and shape the neurological
function and structure of brain. Therefore, based on current studies about cognitive neuroscience, this review differentiates
and analyzes the definition and main representations of critical period and sensitive period, and then put forward how to
effectively and scientifically promote the development of music education.
