Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Until about 6 months of age, babies can discriminate between all speech sounds that occur in all languages. After this age, they start narrowing their ability to discriminate to the speech sounds in their native language. This process is known as perceptual narrowing. Babies do not start speaking in single words until around 10 to 14 months and do not overgeneralize syntactic rules until about 2 to 3 years of age.
