SEATTLE, Wash. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --- A study out of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences says it’s never too early to expose kids to two languages. Researchers measured brain waves and found that by eleven months of age, infants recognize and process sounds from Spanish and English. She measured brain waves from eleven-month-olds and found they’re already learning the language or languages they’ve been hearing. Bilingual babies showed strong responses to both languages and had stronger brain responses in areas that are responsible for executive function. Ferjan Ramirez says the infant brain is capable of learning two languages simultaneously.
