Language development, an important aspect of the infant's cognitive and perceptual pattern, is affected by development of the intellect, maturation of the central nervous system, development of the organs of speech, and exposure to human verbalization.As in other areas of development, language acquisition follows a definite sequence.During the first 2 months, most of the infant's sounds are vowels and are made primarily in the front part of the mouth.Crying is the major means of communication during this period.Cooing sounds are heard at approximately 2 to 3 months, usually in response to an adult's voice.By 6 months, babbling sounds are heard, and by 9 to 10 months, the infant forms two-syllable sounds.By 12 months, words such as "ma-ma," "bye-bye," and "da-da" are emerging.From 15 to 18 months, an expressive jargon with rhythmic intonations develops, but words are recognized only rarely.Babbling begins by 6 months thus choice "C" is incorrect.Choices "A," "B," and "D," are all correct.
