Children exposed to complex
sentences will develop better
language-comprehension skills.

Infants learn to recognize
the sounds of their native
language by the age of
six months.

The number of words an
infant hears directly from a
parent or other person is one
of the most important predictors
of later intelligence.

Children spoken to in a
positive tone of voice will
respond more positively
than a child spoken to in
negative tones.
