How Language And How Does Social Interaction Affect Birdsongs

There is something unique about infants and how they learn language. Starting from a young age, most infants begin to vocalize. As infant encounter more social interaction, it causes more babbling. Many people say that an infant's speech development is fairly similar to a birdsong. Birdsong is the vocalizations that birds make when communicating with each other. However, it appears that the structure of how they develop the skill is fairly similar to how infants do. Therefore, scientists research in order to discover why infants’ babblings corresponds to birdsongs. Most importantly, the main question they are trying to solve is how does social interaction affect infants vocal development. Since babbling only occurs during speech interactions, there is a possibility that language and vocal development are automatically born within someone or it just could be learned overtime. How are birdsong and infants language development similar and what does it tell the …show more content…
The findings show that infant’s speech development and birdsongs are fairly similar in how they are developed. Since the beginning, the speech will be fairly immature and unstable, but by the end their speech is very well formed and stable. In the middle stages, the social interactions made between them and their peers helped mature their language development. Just like in the experiment, it was broken down in three sections and when social interaction appeared, the more babbling occurred. With that, those who had social interactions had language development occur faster than lose who did not have as much. This is important in the sense that without social interactions, our vocalization skills would not be where they are. Also, this allows people to be aware so that later on we can help improve their own child's language development, but just for them to know how important social interaction can be for a
