Talking Baby Summary:
I learned in this video that babies that babble aren’t actually speaking. It really doesn’t mean anything. If a baby says something over again like “ma ma ma” It is known as babbling. Babies might repeat what someone says. Like if the mother says “baba” then the baby will say “ba ba ba” I also learned that deaf babies can babble in sign language. Sometimes they don’t even sign language, they just learn from what the parents are doing. The 2 year old Symone sign language and spoke at the same time.
Born to talk Summary:
Well I learned in this video that even though s child doesn’t even know what past tense means, they can still say a word in past tense. If the child hears a conversation, their brain will develop the skills needed to used past tense. The little boy was asked what did the plain just do, he said fly instead of flew. But the little girl that was told a story about a picture, she could say some of the past tense things like gave, but she said bringed instead of brought because of the rules.
If only they could talk Summary:
I thought this video was amazing because animals can communicate without words. Like the first animal, Hammy the pig. He could identify objects like a ball and Frisbee with hand movements and signs. The owner made the shape of a ball, round like one too. And the pig went to the ball. I don’t know what kind of shape the Frisbee was in, but her arms were up with her fists in, Hammy recognized and went to the Frisbee. The sea lion Rocky was very smart. She understood when they were asking her for a kiss. The lady pointed to the cheek. When they did the object test, I noticed that they do it in different parts, the man would show a shape, Rocky would look at the shape, and then the man would hold up flipper touch, or tale touch. She would go to the shape and touch it with whatever part she was supposed to. The Parrot could identify color and different material. He just had to feel them in his beak. He could also count.
