Communication behavior: BIRTH Crying Communication behavior: 2-4 MONTHS Cooing Communication behavior: 6 MONTHS babbling Communication behavior: 7-14 MONTHS Gestures Communication behavior: 18 MONTHS Spoken words Universal linguist Refers to crying, cooing, babbling, which all occur within the first 6mo of life. Infants are "citizens of the world" and can recognize when sounds change, no matter what language the syllables are from. Language specific listeners occurs after 6mo, when the infant gets better at perceiving the changes in sounds from their own language and they gradually lose the ability to recognize the differences that are not important to their own language.
