Kennard principle

the idea that brain damage sustained early in life is less debilitating than brain damage sustained later in life, presumably because of the enhanced ability of the younger brain to reorganize. This principle is not always confirmed. [Margaret Kennard (1899–1976), U.S. psychologist]
