The linguistic genius of babies - Patricia Kuhl
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another -- by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world. (Filmed at TEDxRainier.)
Talk by Patricia Kuhl.
