And parents who use their arms and hands a lot while talking will have children doing the same more. Is this news? Isn’t that obvious? Yes, research it and proof it. But didn’t we already know that language “simply” need exposure to develop? Something something 1 million words? And not even directed at the kid, it just needs to be exposed to it. This is not something new by any means. Looking at the wiki article, it seems to agree.
Well this is how science works, right? You formulate hypotheses, build expectations and finally test them. For example, the expected influence of more talkative parents would be erased by other factors, like (and this is a mere example) the exposition to sounds in the woumb.
Yes, but this is all well know. That is the confusing part to me. Or at least the basics are known. Perhaps there is some detail I am missing.
No shit?
