16、ld. Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is t
17、he pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern.
