celestial openness of the child's mind
studying how sounds are learned..
interesting... citizens of the world turn into language bound listeners before their first birthday
babies listening intently and taking statistics
babies are sensitive to the statistics, adults no longer absorb them, we're governed by the representations in memory that were formed early in development
the learning of language may slow down when our distributions stabilize
bilinguals must keep 2 sets in mind at once
can babies take stats on a brand new language - they found out yes
found it takes a human being for learning to take place, no tv no teddies
