The researchers also show that the relative amount of each language - English and Spanish - babies were exposed to affected their vocabulary as toddlers.
研究者们还揭示说,在婴儿时期接触到的各种语言(英语或西班牙语)的数量,会影响到他们学步时期的词汇量。
The study, published in Journal of Phonetics, is the first to measure brain activity throughout infancy and relate it to language exposure and speaking ability.
这项发表在《语音学期刊》上的研究第一次对婴儿时期的大脑活动进行测量,并将其与语言环境和口语能力联系起来。
'The bilingual brain is fascinating because it reflects humans' abilities for flexible thinking - bilingual babies learn that objects and events in the world have two names, and flexibly switch between these labels, giving the brain lots of good exercise,' said Patricia Kuhl, co-author of the study and co-director of the UW's Institute for Learning &Brain Sciences.
帕特丽夏 库尔是该研究的合著者之一,也是华盛顿大学学习与大脑科学研究所的副主任,她说:“双语大脑很棒,因为它可以反映出人类灵活思维的能力。双语宝宝们认识到世界上的物体和事件都有两个名称,并能在不同的名称之间灵活转换,这给了大脑很多有益的锻炼。”
Kuhl's previous studies show that between 8 and 10 months of age, monolingual babies become increasingly able to distinguish speech sounds of their native language, while at the same time their ability to distinguish sounds from a foreign language declines.
