Document Summary

Developments in hearing: 4 7 months, sense of musical phrasing, screen out sounds from nonnative languages, 6 8 months, 7 9 months, divide the speech stream into word-like units, 10 months, detect words that start with weak syllables. A sensitive period for culture-specific learning: perceptual sensitivity becomes attuned to information most often encountered, faces, musical rhythms, language, babies are biologically prepared to zero in on socially meaningful perceptual distinctions. Improves over first 6 months, as other abilities improve. Intermodal stimulation: simultaneous input from more than one modality or sensory system. Intermodal perception: capacity to perceive streams of multisensory input as integrated wholes, newborns can detect a modal sensory property. Intermodal perception: develops rapidly in first year, facilitates processing of both physical and social worlds. Minimal language provides labels for children"s experiences (egocentric) Support children to explore their world and discover.
