AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mothers around the world consistently alter their voices when talking to their babies, no matter what language they speak, according to a study published in October in the journal Current Biology.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is babbling? Babbling is a stage of early language development when baby makes consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant sounds, such as “ma”, “da” or “um”. Repetitive babbling occurs next (for example, “mamama”). Finally, baby will combine a variety of sounds (i.e. “mabaga”) which is called variegated babbling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Babbling is a stage in language acquisition. Babbles are separated from language because they do not convey meaning or refer to anything specific like words do. Human infants are not necessarily excited or upset when babbling; they may also babble spontaneously and incessantly when they are emotionally calm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies learn how to manipulate sounds that make up the puzzle of language. When your baby babbles, they are learning how to move their lips and tongue to replicate the sounds of their native language. By playing with their voice, babies master the building blocks of language and also learn how to modulate their voice.
