Their findings are reported in a new study, “The Birth of Words: 10-Month-Olds Learn Words Through Perceptual Salience,” being published in the March/April issue of the journal Child Development (Vol. 77, Issue 2). <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.udel.edu/PR/UDaily/2006/apr/golinkoff041306.html" target="blank">www.udel.edu/PR/UDaily/2006/apr/golinkoff041306.html</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
