　　Babies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds.New research suggests they also learn from watching lips.Florida scientists discovered that around the age of 6 months,babies begin studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate(模仿) you,the baby has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they’re hearing,” explains David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University,who led the study published on Monday.

　　Scientists have long known that babies also look to speakers’ faces for important social cues(暗示) about what they’re hearing.Just like adults,they’re drawn to the eyes,which express important messages like the emotion connected(联系) to words.David Lewkowicz went a step further,wondering whether babies look to the lips for cues as well,like how adults lip-read what someone’s saying at a noisy party.So he and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies,dividing them into different groups according to their ages (4,6,10 and 12 months).

　　They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers.They found a shift in attention:when the speaker used English,the 4-month-olds looked mostly at her eyes;the 6-month-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth;the 8 and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth;at 12 months,attention started shifting back toward the speakers’ eyes.
