New neuroscience research upends traditional theories of early language learning in babies

The findings challenge traditional theories of language acquisition that emphasize the rapid learning of phonetic elements. Instead, the study suggests that the individual sounds of speech are not processed reliably until around seven months, and the addition of these sounds into language is a gradual process.

AWESOME DISSERTATION ALERT

"Examining the Effects of Background Noise on Contextualized Word Learning"

Caitlin A. Ross, PhD, West Virginia University, 2021

"Previous studies have examined isolated word learning and some studies have manipulated noise levels. Yet, few, if any, studies have experimentally examined “real-life” noise effects on vocabulary learning when more contextual information is available to facilitate learning."
