00:04While babies might seem pretty helpless right after they're born, it turns out they're putting their energy elsewhere.
00:09A new study reveals that even in the first couple of hours after an infant is born, they're already well
00:14on their way to learning language.
00:16Researchers discovered this by placing data-gathering devices on the heads of newborns, devices which track changes in oxygen levels
00:22in their brains.
00:23They found that when infants were played the sounds of backwards vowels, they initially could not determine the difference from
00:28the normal forward version.
00:29However, just a few hours later, after having listened to both normal speech and the backwards vowel sounds, they could,
00:35meaning the babies had learned the difference simply by listening.
00:37The researchers also detected different parts of the infants' brains cross-talking or communicating with each other.
00:43But they only discovered this in the brains of the trained babies, not the control group, which they say likely
00:48means infants who were spoken to in the first hours of their lives likely benefit from that verbal interaction.
00:59The American people who are trying to control or communicate with each other.
00:59They were able to do staffs in their能力 and not only one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one
00:59-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one-one.
