Covington and Finn Campbell COVINGTON CAMPBELL:"One day when exploring,what do you think he'd see?What do you think he'll see?" Researchers think babies begin developing language skills while they are in the womb. Covington Campbell was in law school when she was pregnant with Finn. COVINGTON CAMPBELL:"I was finishing my last semester of law school,so,I guess,check back with me in 30 years and see if he's a litigator,because he would definitely come alive in my corporations classes and he always heard my professors speaking." Professor Kathy Hirsh-Pasik directs the Infant Language Laboratory at Temple University in Philadelphia. KATHY HIRSH-PASIK:"We think the very first processes of language development are actually starting in the womb because they are overhearing their mother's speech. Researchers say that is when babies pick up the melodies of language. KATHY HIRSH-PASIK:"They can sometimes remember some of the words that they've heard.And they appear to zoom in on classes of language.They may not know French from Spanish,but they know that that's in one group and English and German are in another group." Another study shows that babies and children who are frequently talked to have higher IQ scores and later on,do better in school. Child development specialist Judy Montgomery encourages parents to talk to their babies. JUDY MONTGOMERY:"Parents and caregivers;the family members are the first ones who introduce vocabulary.And the more words the children hear,the greater their vocabulary. But Hirsh-Pasik warns against putting babies in front of a television.Covington and Finn Campbell COVINGTON CAMPBELL: "One day when exploring, what do you think he'd see?
