Patricia Kuhl: Jezikovna nadarjenost dojenčkov

Na dogodku TEDxRainier Patricia Kuhl 
predstavi izjemna odkritja o tem, kako se dojenčki naučijo nekega jezika prek poslušanja ljudi okrog njih in "izvajanja statistike" o glasovih, ki jih morajo poznati. Domiselni laboratorijski poskusi in možganska slikanja prikazujejo izjemne miselne procese, preko katerih šestmesečni dojenčki dojemajo svet.

Babies are born able to distinguish every sound in every language, but this universal ability fades before their first birthday. During a brief critical window, they learn rapidly by listening to people speak around them, absorbing the statistics of language patterns. Remarkably, exposure to a new language works only through live, in-person interaction, not from audio or video alone. Brain scans reveal that social engagement is essential for wiring the circuits that make language possible.
