When people talk to babies

Why do they do stuff like, make so many noises, make clicking noses and talk like [developmentally delayed] when they are around babies? My cousin is over with her baby and my mom is holding him, and making these gay [wagon] noises. I just want to knock her out.

 

Anybody have a explanation why they do this? :roll:

Actually, those noises are very important for the development of the baby's verbal communication. By responding to the baby's noise with similar noise, it begins to understand that it can use its voice to communicate with its surroundings.

I have wondered the same thing.

 

It seems like Babies and small animals bring out the baby in everyone else.

 

Unfortunately I think I have fallen victim to talking like a baby to animals but I dont do it to babies.

 

 

 

I dont like little kids.

Well those sounds may sound weird and stupid to grown people like us, but I think normal talking without any major sound changes is going to bore the baby or not even catch his attention for a response. Those drastic sound changes are most likely going to spark a response from him, like Necromagus said.

In psychology, this way of speaking is called "Motherese." In recent years, this term has become a bit politically incorrect, however, and is now referred to as child-directed speech (CDS). It's a bit mysterious; some research has suggested that it helps babies learn to talk by exposing them to slower and more "easily-digestible" speech. However, cross-cultural studies have shown that cultures that infants in cultures where CDS is not used still develop language at the same rate.

 

 

 

So, mm, who knows? :D

 

 

 

Ohoh, and here, may as well link to the wikipedia article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_talk

Everybody hug and spread the love :D

lol dude no offence but this is messed up. If you talk to a baby in baby talk it doesn't realize the words when the baby talks it is trying to talk like us. so if a baby says dada meaning *daddy* your not going to go "Want to go to Dada" but "want to go to daddy" so it learns how to say it.
