When the target voice was only five decibels louder than the background, the infants gave each name equal attention. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.diamondbackonline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/04/13/425cf4dc49c30 " target="blank">www.diamondbackonline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/04/13/425cf4dc49c30 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
