How does a child learn to speak?

What is the first word the child says? Everyone knows the answer - "mother"! It seems like such a simple thing to us, doesn't it? But in reality, this is a very complex process that requires many standards of development. And after all, no other living being on earth is capable of doing this!

Let's go through this process step by step. When a child is born, his brain is like a blank sheet of paper. There's nothing there. The areas of the brain that receive sensory impressions have not yet received anything. The child's eyes are open, but the nerves between the eyes and the brain are not yet developed, so the brain does not register anything. After a month or two, these nerves develop and the baby now "sees" its mother.

As a result of seeing the same object over and over again, visual memory centers in the brain develop. The image of the mother is registered in the memory centers of the infant. And the child thus "recognizes" his mother. As soon as the mother sees that this has happened, she points to herself while saying "mom" at the same time. At first the child cannot hear, but then the auditory nerves develop and he hears the word "mother".

Through repetition, the child develops an auditory memory of this sound. The kid remembers and "understands" the word "mother". Now the mother needs to teach the child to speak. By repeating the word "mom" over and over, she achieves this. A connection is made in the brain of the image of mother in the visual centers and the word "mother" in the auditory centers. This is called an association.

Now the child not only recognizes his mother's face, but also thinks of the word "mother" when he sees her. He recognizes her. Then the child begins to imitate the mother. He formulates a word without first saying it. After many attempts to say the word, the child can make the vocal cords move when he sees the mother. Finally he will be able to say: "Mom!" And, of course, the proud mother says: "My child is already talking!"

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why do glaciers still exist today?

A huge mass of ice, from the formation of which the ice age began in North America, was called the "continental glacier": in the very center its thickness reached 4,5 km. It is possible that this glacier formed and melted four times during the entire ice age.

The glacier that covered other parts of the world has not melted in some places! For example, the huge island of Greenland is still covered by continental ice, except for a narrow coastal strip. In its middle part, the glacier sometimes reaches a thickness of more than three kilometers. Antarctica is also covered by a vast continental glacier up to 4 kilometers thick in some places!

So the reason why there are glaciers in some parts of the world is that they have not melted since the Ice Age. But the bulk of the glaciers that are found now, formed recently. They are mainly located in mountain valleys.

They originate in wide, gently sloping, amphitheater-like valleys. Snow falls here from the slopes as a result of landslides and avalanches. Such snow does not melt in the summer, becoming deeper every year. Gradually, pressure from above, some thawing, and repeated freezing remove air from the bottom of this snow mass, turning it into solid ice. The impact of the weight of the entire mass of ice and snow compresses the entire mass and causes it to move down the valley. Such a moving tongue of ice is a mountain glacier.

More than 1200 such glaciers are known in Europe in the Alps! They also exist in the Pyrenees, in the Carpathians, in the Caucasus, as well as in the mountains of southern Asia. There are tens of thousands of these glaciers in southern Alaska, some 50 to 100 km long!

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Invulnerable displays from LG 07.05.2013

LG Display has already brought curved TVs to market, but this is just one of the company's few innovations. Already, the company is developing a completely new type of display, which will be incredibly difficult to break.

"LG Display has made the decision to start developing 'indestructible' displays, which are the next generation of displays," LG spokesman Frank Lee was quoted as saying by The Korea Times. A new type of display will be especially in demand in the development of solutions with a flexible housing.

Unlike traditional "flexible displays", such screens will not be at risk of damage. It is possible that similar displays will form the basis of new devices from Apple and Google. Samsung is also developing similar displays, but the solutions presented by the South Korean giant are not stable.
