　　Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New research suggests they're lip­readers too.

　　Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 months, babies begin shifting from the eye gaze(注视)to studying mouths when people talk to them.

　　“In order to imitate you, the baby has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing，” explains psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study. “It's an incredibly complex process.”

　　Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start shifting back to look you in the eye again — unless they hear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they stick with lip­reading a bit longer.

　　In the experiment, David Lewkowicz tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months.

　　How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. A device tracked where each baby was focusing his or her gaze and recorded how long the gaze lasted.
