New research indicates that babies can begin grasping complex language and ideas.
Infants less than a year old can combine simple concepts into complex ideas, showing that creativity begins in babyhood.
Lead researcher, Dr Barbara Pomiechowska, carried out the research while a postdoctoral fellow at the Central European University . She is now an assistant professor in the School of Psychology, at the University of Birmingham, in the UK. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify 'padu ducks' from among a choice of images. By teaching novel words to represent quantities, the researchers were able to test the babies' ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience.
