Language Comprehension Begins Before Birth
Research indicates that babies start picking up language even before they are born, with prenatal exposure laying the groundwork for their future speech and language abilities. From as early as five months in the womb, babies can hear external sounds, particularly their mother's voice, which becomes a familiar sound. A study utilized EEG monitoring to show that newborns' brainwaves align with the rhythmic patterns of the language most often heard during pregnancy. This finding suggests that the foundation for language comprehension is established even before birth, indicating the profound impact of prenatal auditory experiences on language development.
