[ScienceD] Primate calls, like human speech, can help infants form categories - Science Daily - 2013-09-03 Primate calls, like human speech, can help infants form categories Human infants' responses to the vocalizations of non-human primates shed light on the developmental origin of a crucial link between human language and core cognitive capacities, a new study reports. Previous studies have shown that even in infants too young to speak, listening to human speech supports core cognitive processes, including the formation of object categories. Researchers documented that this link is initially broad enough to include the vocalizations of non-human primates.   http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_science/~3/SAVU36_ivMU/130902162714.htm
