Our @EducEndowFoundn Cognitive Science in the Classroom Review is out! There is a full report and a shorter, more digestible summary report. Last week’s #CogSci preview talk from @TWPerry1 here: https://t.co/1t4Pj5jQvv. I’ll attempt to summarise below... 🧵 (1/25)

Do babies develop accents even before they can speak conventionally?

The short answer is yes… and these linguistic markers begin even sooner than you might think.

So many of you tagged me in this video yesterday featuring an infant that babbles with the same Scouse accent as his mother.

Other than “no” he doesn’t speak a single conventional word, but listen to how the rhythm and intonation of his vocalizations mirror those to which he is exposed daily.

As hearing becomes functional during the third trimester, infants are exposed to the distinct patterns of their mothers’ native language - with studies suggesting newborns can already distinguish (and prefer) what will become their native tongue only hours after birth.

Incredibly this learning doesn’t wait until the babbling stage to evidence itself.

Research suggests that even the cries of newborns reflect this preference.

That’s right: babies cry with an accent.

One major study on the topic showed that French babies cry with a rising intonation, while German infants favor a falling melody - both reflecting the patterns of their native languages.

We’re only just beginning to understand the deep learning that begins in utero. It’s just more evidence that the period from prenatal to three is the most critical window in all of human development.

Imagine if there was a free, service for schools to evaluate the impact of 1-1 and whole class interventions.
Imagine if it gave you robust research methodology, and ease of use.
Imagine no more. Just have a go. @WhatWorked

Whoa... this learning styles myth is potentially not neutral. It can affect what people think children can do.

Interested in research on cognitive load? I recommend this special issue: https://t.co/x5z0WM4I7d. E.g. Endres et al show that sometimes prior knowledge can increase CL (when teaching complex systems pupils with little knowledge can underestimate the complexity of the problem).

New article by ⁦@orhanagirdag⁩ and me shows positive impact of the High Performing Schools improvement programme in the Netherlands. Points to power of CPD and need for intervention at all levels (leadership, classroom teaching, culture). https://t.co/2IUwwty6Lv
