11.Not long ago,people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced1 by their environment.They say a baby will smile if his mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care by smiling to please his mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
A study shows how mothers can influence social development and language skills in their children.
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers tried to measure the sensitivity2 of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children's activities and did not get involved unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also,the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.
The children of depressed3 women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.
1.influence:to affect the way people behave or think
2.sensitivity:the ability to understand other people's feelings
