Scientists from the Institute of human cognitive and brain Sciences in Leipzig found that infants during sleep, fails to associate the word with the event. Association they have aged from 6 to 8 months.

Previously, this ability was studied in older organisms. The memory that determines the meaning of words, takes place during sleep through the the same stages, as when lexical development. Thus, a baby is a full development process with the combination of visual and acoustic stimuli. This kid is much faster to digest all the material that hears around. In order to verify this, scientists have conducted a number of studies involving infants aged 6 to 8 months.

Each of them hooked up to the scanner. The scoreboard displays all the processes that occur in the brain of the child. During the experiment, the babies mentioned a certain set of words that the children could associate with objects. Thus, if in the future such a thing be called, the child will never perceive, and memory are the first option.
