I'm not convinced... Maybe the baby's brain locks onto those patterns BECAUSE people always talk like that to them and that's what they are use to hearing. This research needs to be done with infants which have not yet had a lot of talking experience. Maybe a baby that is always talked to normally would have different behaviour. Remember: Corelation does not mean causation!!
@rrobertt13 yes but that doesn't guarantee that the connection is inate. it might mean that the babies have learned to only pay attention to baby speak because they know it is directed to them.
Yeah i think the same.. because 1st this is happening only from a few generations back... people back in the 1900s or even up to the 40s 50s did not talk to their babies like this... at least not this many people... like now. 2nd just look at parents from 3rd world countries like India, African countries, China etc.. people there don't seem to talk to their babies this way... if anything they talk to them just like any other person, and they are quite strict ... and guess what, kids in those countries also don't end up spoiled and they respond to parents really good. They follow commands and tasks way better..without a fuss... And the western kids that are being talked to in parenteese all the time, end up a lot of the time spoled... I think there is a relation there... Also these kids are better at focusing, longer attention span and acting serious when they have to.. unlike western kids.. Just my simple observation...
AHHH BBC manages to present the most interesting topics in a way that makes you fast forward half the video in the hope to get to the actual information
This leaves me with more questions like: - Is the higher pitched voice useful because it gets associated with the mother's voice or is it the opposite? - If high pitch and rhythm have an influence, is this part of the reason why some say that playing classical music for kids help them develop considering the amount of different melodies in a piece? If that's the case, what would jazz do?
People all talk to babies like that because that's what they pay attention to. If your baby is ignoring you, you aren't going to keep using that form of speech to try to connect with them. It sounds like a pretty standard feedback loop.
Didn't we already fined a study proving that the "baby language is already really complicated" and that talking to the baby like a pet set them backwords?
Talking with a high-pitched voice (parentese/motherese) like described in this video is proven to enhance language learning, however, doing it too much and too long might not have an effect on language learning anymore.
Anyone with information about the team that does this study ? I couldn't get the name right at 0:22 Personnally, I always get suspicious when I see images such as the one with the baby's face with electric signals on its brain and the smaller screen on the side with the "baby's brain waves". It can absolutely be only to catch the eye of the viewer, but than it's show TV not science. So if anyone can find the science behind this, I'm actually interested thks
They might mean not to use nonsensical gibberish that some people use towards babies. The slowed exaggerated and heightened tones seem to be beneficial but only when used with genuine language.
I stopped using 'baby talk' when my children were all starting to become mobile. If parents actually ~pay attention~. We wouldn't require the waste of tests like this. My kids, all 3 grew up to be more mature than their "peers".
Test like these aren't about parents not paying attention, it's about not having to assume anything. No matter how accurate our assumptions about the world seem to be they are still just educated guesses, not facts.....

I was wondering the same thing. But it seems almost innate to do it.
@rrobertt13 yes but that doesn't guarantee that the connection is inate. it might mean that the babies have learned to only pay attention to baby speak because they know it is directed to them.
@rrobertt13 thats the thing, maybe the're not! Only way to find out is to experiment.

Saying “I can see you” in a normal tone sounds quite creepy.
Sounds more creepy in parentese, except if there is a baby present :D
jajaja

Haha Yes!

I CAN SEE YOU
YOUR'E NOT ALONE
thats why high pitch voices are can be heared by most of the animals.
Great! Now so the same experiment about how dogs react to baby talk.
1:33, Bruh, I saved a chip for you

I realise your comment is two years old but it's professor usha goswami, incase you still wanted to know.
@@Sparkylizzie well thks a lot, I'll take a look
I wonder how much this influences the structure of human language and also how did we know to use parentese for our babies to learn?
Michail Maris it's an instinct you have. You speak like that to any baby, even an animal.
If your baby isn't responding to 'adult' speech, you're naturally going to change the way you speak so they can pick up on what you're saying
Where is May
They are not the first ones to explicit this knowledge, Golinkoff did it 30 years ago.
Babies are cool
So basically babies are that drake meme
blowing their minds
Actually it is called MOTHERESE. Babies prefer women voices, specially their mother's
It got real at 4:44.
1:50 i dont want to be rude but he looks mean :(
I want a teacher to teach me Russian like this
the red head baby was wild
Everyone I know say never baby talk your baby cause they wont know how to speak or pronouns words properly.

@You need magnesium. The sad part is I'm not even a parent and that just seems like common sense to me but I guess it's not for a lot of people.

Well we cant take your childrens matureness as a statistic. So what you just wrote.. is bullshit.
Test like these aren't about parents not paying attention, it's about not having to assume anything. No matter how accurate our assumptions about the world seem to be they are still just educated guesses, not facts.....
Why do you want kids to be mature? Let them be kids!!
You’re lying
Maturity is a behavior not a language.
