The study found that babies who exhibited a greater neural response to novelty showed enhanced vocabulary skills at two years old, suggesting brain reactivity may predict communication development.
Using EEG caps, we measured brain activity in response to sounds, revealing how the brain reacts differently to standard, deviant, and novel stimuli in five-month-old infants.
The infant toddler checklist, used at two years, assesses children's communication skills in speech, symbolic, and social domains, linking earlier brain activity to later abilities.
Research indicates that understanding the neural novelty response in babies could provide crucial insights into their future communicative abilities, bridging early brain development and language skills.
