New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK has found evidence that talking to toddlers helps to shape their developing brain.
A team from the School of Psychology at UEA led by Professor John Spencer, captured thousands of hours of language data from babies and toddlers who were equipped with small recording devices. MRI scans were also carried out to explore the structure of the participants’ developing brains, focusing on a substance called myelin.
