Baby Talk

An interesting article about babies learning to talk: by using the pattern of sounds within words to distinguish the ends of words. Babies "pay attention to sounds that cohere within words, compared to the less predictive sounds that change as they span a word boundary," Aslin says. And when that pattern breaks, the baby understands that a new word is about to start.
