Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that receptive language, meaning the ability to understand language, typically develops before expressive language, meaning the ability to produce language. Babies will start to respond to the sounds of language and the non-verbal cues of those around them before they are able to communicate back using words. This is why babies typically understand more words than they can say themselves.
