The linguistic genius of babies

Title:: The linguistic genius of babies
Speaker:: Patricia Kuhl
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.
