Every parent — and infant day care provider who, alas, may be more relevant these days — knows, sometimes until their own ears ache, that the baby or very young toddler signals his entry into his prime state of language learning by echolaelia. He makes noise. Lots of noise. Babble-Babble-Babble-Clunk-Slam-Coo! Most learning, and most growth and development, comes not from stimulus input as such but from feedback input — what we get back from what we put out. The baby's to-us-maddening experimentation with mouth noises is the beginnings of the long process wherein he gets on top of the noise patterns we use, learns how to associate them, and becomes able to express them in a way that has meaning to us — "Da-da! Ma-Mah!" — and so on toward Shakespeare and beyond.
The better that feedback — in this or in any other sector of activity — the better the learning and growth. Here is how to give your child not only a far better gift of articulateness for life, but a far better grasp for life of verbal meanings and intelligence:
The babbleback machine is a program that continuously records sound from your PC's microphone and continuously plays that sound back after a delay. It is a fun, educational game for children as young as 6 months old.
WARNING!
Only download this "FREE TOOL" if you seriously want to give your child (or someone you know) a very big head start in vocalization and expressing themselves, way before they even get to start school!
