First Words with Dr. Derek Houston

Do you know what your first word was? Do you remember a time before you acquired language? Why do some of us shout out “Mama!” as our first utterance while others come up with “clock”? In this debut episode, Emily & Aidan are joined by cognitive psychologist Dr. Derek Houston to investigate the nature of words, early linguistic development, and human perception. Thank you to listener Anthony for submitting today’s LingQuery!
