Is the key to infants learning to associate sounds with meaning. a. repetition b. hearing their own sounds c. adult responses d. responses of other infants

Hi!

The correct option is A.

The formation of memory is associated with formation of neural pathways or connections in the brain. For any new memory formed, a new neural pathway develops. Repetition serves to ensure that these pathways are well developed and established.

For a child to associate a particular sound with a meaning, repetition not only serves to reinforce the concept, but also ensures that the neural pathway to that information in a child is well developed and that the child is quickly able to recall the meaning from memory on hearing the sound.

Hope this helps!

answer: the answer is false.
