The language and forms of communication...

This piece of news is about language development and communication in humans.
The news talk about a 16-month baby named Tom, born in May that still does not talk but can perform other activities such as slither underneath the sofa. In psychology, this is related to the ideas of Piaget, in that childre have mental mechanisms to learn their nature and the environment in which they grow and then will develop until adulthood. Whether in terms of intelligence, logical operations, the concepts of number, space and time, etc.

Theories about the earliest forms of human communication were possibly the primitive gestures and language may have evolved from instinctual sounds or cries. For example, the Gestural theory suggests that early man developed the language by communicating with hand movements and body.

On the other hand, says that babies around the world start talking about saying the words typical "mom and dad" is how repetitive words with consonants would be the preferred way for babies to start talking, although every child speaking at different ages, for example the famous Einstein spoke at 3 years and Picasso first spoke to 18 months, so that mothers do not have to worry about when their babies speak because everyone will eventually. The premise that babies can communicate before they can speak was investigated by the scientist José García, in late 1980. Garcia suggested that even at six months, hearing babies of hearing parents can begin to learn basic signs.
