True baby talk — actually proper adult speech, just delivered in a different cadence — can boost infant brain and speech development, a new study has found
"Goo goo ga ga? Are wu my widdle baby?" If your idea of"baby talk" makes you throw up in your mouth a little, then it's time to get educated.
True baby talk, which a new study shows can boost infant brain and speech development, is actually proper adult speech, just delivered in a different cadence.This is your child's brain on books: Scans show benefit of reading vs. screen time "It uses real words and correct grammar, but it does use a higher pitch, a slower tempo and an exaggerated intonation," said Naja Ferjan Ramirez, an assistant professor at the department of linguistics at the University of Washington.
The study is continuing. At this time the babies are about three, old enough to undergo brain imaging with new MRIs that, Kuhl stresses, are quite safe at that age. While publication of any new findings will take time, Kuhl is encouraged."Measures of language skill continue to show that the kids in the coached group are way ahead of the kids in the control group," Kuhl said.
