It states that it is doubful if one part of the brain is able to reach its limits . before that age. Parents will readily confirm from observation’ the statement that the maximum ‘growth of imagination and originality occurs between four and seven years of age. The part covering memory and experience begins to grow at seven years and continues until nineteen. Thereafter a part called the silent area continues in human beings alone to expand until they are sixty years of age.
