From 4 to 6 months, infants react when a muted video clip of a person speaking changes language. Babies generally lose this ability at 8 months unless they are expose to multiple languages. Another study showed a child's ability to gesture at 14 months can predict their vocabulary a age 4 and 5. These findings suggest it is important to spend time with your baby and use visual cues and gestures to help them gain skills early on.
