Language Development in Babies

What is one of the first steps in a baby's language development?

• Counting numbers

• Recognizing colors

• Understanding melodies and patterns

• Learning to walk

How do babies use melodies in language learning?

• To learn to walk

• To find language units

• To recognize faces

• To identify colors

What is statistical learning in the context of language acquisition?

• Using statistical cues to identify words

• Learning through repetition

• Using colors to learn words

• Learning by imitation

How do bilingual babies differentiate between two languages?

• By recognizing different rhythmic patterns

• By learning one language at a time

• By using different toys

• By using different colors

What advantage do babies have when learning multiple languages?

• They can learn faster than adults

• They can learn to walk earlier

• They can recognize more colors

• They can count numbers better

Which animals are known for their vocal learning abilities?

• Lizards and snakes

• Elephants and giraffes

• Songbirds and dolphins

• Cats and dogs

What is the motor theory of vocal learning origin?

• A theory about brain pathways controlling speech

• A theory about walking patterns

• A theory about color recognition

• A theory about animal migration

What unique gene is associated with human language development?

• BRCA1

• SRGAP2

• APOE

• FOXP2

How does the extra copy of the SRGAP2 gene affect human brains?

• It changes eye color

• It increases connections between brain cells

• It affects walking speed

• It reduces brain size

What is one of the outcomes of having more brain cell connections in humans?

• Faster running speed

• Improved sense of smell

• Better color vision

• Enhanced language learning
