How Do Babies Acquire Knowledge?
The language learning abilities of infants are astonishing and manifest quite early. The latest research shows that babies acquire the grammatical rules of language at an incredible speed. The advancement of linguistic sciences enables us to better understand how infants respond to linguistic stimuli and how they process them. Infants’ brains are highly receptive to linguistic structures, which can be observed as early as four months of age. In studies, German infants were played Italian sentences, and EEG measurements indicated that babies can store syntactic relationships in less than fifteen minutes and can also respond to different linguistic patterns. This discovery sheds new light on the early stages of language…
