Doubt it. Many case studies have shown to child psychologists that even the most basic forms of cognition and sensation must be developed within a child at various early stages of its life, or else it will become permanently impossible to obtain.

A person who spent 36 years inside someone's stomache, for example.....
1) Would never have moved their body and would experience atrophy of their muscles.
2) Would never have used their eyes and, even if they weren't blind, would have absolutely no ability to interpret anything that they see.
3) Would have missed the cycle of one's life where their brain develops the most, where the brain is most prone to retaining knowledge such as math and language.

There's lots of great resources out there, where even less extreme cases of long-term isolation have shown irreversible signs of damage....I seem to recall for example this one girl who was hand-cuffed to her bed for like, the first 10 years of her life....I'm sure it'd be easy to google.
