A researcher wishes to determine if vitamin E supplements could increase cognitive ability among elderly women. In 1999 the researcher recruits a sample of elderly women age 75-80. At the time of the enrollment into the study, the women were randomized to either take Vitamin E, or a placebo for six months. At the end of the six month period, the women were given a cognition test. Higher scores on this test indicate better cognition. The mean and standard deviation of the test scores of 81 women who took vitamin E supplements was 27 and 6.9 respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the test scores of the 90 women who took placebo supplements was 24 and 6.2, respectively.C Computea 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in cognition test scores between Vitamin E and placebo group.

B) Properties of sensitive period plasticity are adaptive, but also leave the brain vulnerable to harm. C) Sensitive periods are only relevant during prenatal development, and the postnatal environment shapes the brain via different mechanisms D) A & B are both correct
