We have all had many of those conversations that could be labeled as silly with a baby, the gu-gu, ga-ga, grimaces and all kinds of curious sounds have been uttered by our mouths. Unlike what some may think, these sounds are truly important and necessary in the beginnings of baby's language development.
This is certified by a group of Japanese researchers who have conducted a study on this type of language. According to the tests they have done, babies respond to these language stimuli. Twenty newborns with ages between 2 and 9 days were studied with all physical and psychic characteristics within the parameters considered normal. The babies were placed with two sensors on their heads that were responsible for measuring the level of oxygenation in the blood, specifically in the frontal area. It was about practicing near-infrared spectroscopy while the mothers read a story to the babies when they slept, the mothers' voices were recorded and the oxygen levels in the brain were recorded.
The same experiment was repeated, but this time with the babies awake, the result indicates that children react to verbal stimulation, as indicated by the graphs that show the increase in oxygenation in the blood of the brain, this oxygenation shows greater activity and by both a reaction to the stimuli delivered. Still asleep, babies feel the voices of their mothers or loved ones and react to them, it is important and necessary to talk to babies as they listen to us and process all that information that tomorrow will allow them to pronounce their first words .
