Study shows language development starts in the womb

(University of Kansas) A month before they are born, fetuses carried by American mothers-to-be can distinguish between someone speaking to them in English and Japanese.Using non-invasive sensing technology from the University of Kansas Medical Center for the first time for this purpose, a group of researchers from KU's Department of Linguistics has shown this in-utero language discrimination. Their study published in the journal NeuroReport has implications for fetal research in other fields, the lead author says.
