Talking with-Not Just to-Kids Powers How They Learn Language Children from the poorer begin life not only with material disadvantages but cognitive ones. Decades of research (21)_______ (confirm) this, including a famous 1995 finding by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley: By age four children raised in poverty have heard 30 million fewer words, on average, than their peers from wealthier families. That gap has been linked to shakier language skills at the start of school, (22)________, in turn, predicts weaker academic performance.

But the sheer quantity of words a toddler hears is not the most significant influence on language acquisition. Growing evidence has led researchers to conclude quality matters more than quantity, and (23)_________(valuable)quality seems to be back-and-forth communication—what researchers call conversational turns.

A paper (24)________ last week in Psychological Science brings a new kind of support to

this idea, offering the first evidence that these exchanges play a vital role in the development of Broca’s area, the brain region most closely associated with produci ng speech. Further, the amount of conversational turns a child experiences daily outweighs socioeconomic status in predicting (25)__________ activity in Broca’s area and the child’s language skills.

The researchers confirmed the classic 1995 finding that, overall, kids from wealthier families hear more words. And small (26)_______ their sample was, they even confirmed the 30-million-word gap between the poorest and richest children. But they found that “by far the biggest driver for brain development was not the number of words spoken (27)_______the conversations,” Gabrieli says.

The researchers calculated that a child’s verbal ability score increased (28)______ one point for every additional 11 conversational exchanges per hour.

The study is a “very, very important” addition (29)_________ a growing body of work, says developmental psychologist Kathryn Hirsh-Pasek, director of the Infant Language Laboratory at Temple University. “We have known for quite a while that conversational turns—or (30)________in my work we call conversational duets—are very important for building a foundation for language and maybe for learning generally. What hadn’t been done is to link it where we knew it had to be linked—to changes in the brain.”
