Yes, definitely.
On the one hand, we do know that children’s brains, especially around 2-5 years old, take in a lot knowledge, especially related to speaking. They can easily learn 2 or even more languages at the same time during that time, and be fluent in them!
I study how we pay attention more strongly to multisensory information and learning it is often much easier, compared to attending to or learning visual information. I summarise what we know about differences in learning and attention between adults and children, and i discuss in short one of my studies on multisensory attention in children and adults here – https://kids.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/frym.2017.00008 . Have a look 🙂
