Can Babies Use This Knowledge to Learn New Words?

How do we learn to talk? When do babies first understand language? And how do scientists study language learning in the lab?  

In this Focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she visits the Oxford Brookes Babylab to understand how babies make sense of what we say, including watching real-life language experiments with infants and trying to interview a 9-month-old.  

With special thanks to Alice, her son, and Nayeli Gonzalez-Gomez.
