Document Summary
Over the next few months, babbling incorporates sounds from their native language. Even untrained listeners can distinguish between cultures infants who have been raised in cultures in which french, arabic, or cantonese languages were spoken: many cultures assign important meanings to the sounds babies babble: ma-ma-ma, da-da-da and pa-pa-pa are usually taken to apply to significant people in the infant"s life. Infants first recognize words, then they begin to comprehend words. At about 4 and a half months of age, infants will listen longer to a tape repeating their own name than to a tape of different but similar name. At about 7-8 months of age, infants readily learn to recognize new words and remember them for weeks. At 6 months - if an infant hears either mommy or daddy, they look toward the appropriate person. By their 1st birthday, infants usually say their first words, usually an extension of babbling.
